I Am a Better Man For This
I am a better man for this
For the blank rebuttal of the waging tongue
I lost nothing to distraction
My ruin was I missed
The song I should have sung
I am a better man for this
For walking when violence bloomed
In the venomed mouth
I love gardens
And fed for peace where they perfumed
Far from thunder's rolling shout.
