When will we return to
What is really needful
When will our conversations
Turn to the truly heedful

We are those who must speak to love
Our doing left undone.
Words fill the spaces we are unable or afraid to fill
And yet we are loved in action still.

When will we return to
What is really needful
When will our conversations
Turn to the truly heedful

Maybe a space could be a full stop
Maybe a period could be a paragraph
Maybe the next sentence should never be spoken
Maybe the silence should never be broken

When will we return to
What is really needful
When will our conversations
Turn to the truly heedful
