Opinions

I won't cut your opinion,
Even if we disagree.
Each of us has a dominion.
The 'truth' is what we see.

Some, lock in disagreement, 
Then counter with persistence.
To views that are recurrent.
I think I'll keep my silence.

Your poetry, Hilda, is a wealth of insight and beauty. It holds my attention and takes me away to a place full of deep truths and peaceful calm. Like a soft wind, each line blows into my mind and heart with its deep meaning.

Silence, methinks, is the right way to go: It's better than an opinion. It's real wisdom! :) gw

Thank you. I, again, was inspired by tv when a commentator said, "I won't cut your oponion". Stupid, but it stuck in my mind.
