Sometimes We Embrace Silence

Sometimes we embrace silence 
By Michelle Morris

Sometimes we embrace silence
Because no one wants to hear the truth
It's easier to keep one's own counsel 
Than speak words that could be misconstrued

For people aren't interested in the truth
Only the spin of stories woven
Like a spider in a silken web
They'll trap the truth in all unspoken

And we can be ostracized
Our reputations may be destroyed
But our enemies will have no victory
For our light hearts and souls will soar

Even if we don't experience it
In our lifetime on this planet
The truth will reveal it's purity
And restore karmic balance 

And those who would destroy us
Will feel the boomerang of their evil
Even if they think they've won
Their offspring will know their deeds

Sometimes we embrace the silence
Especially when we're tired of speaking out
But one day history's truth will be uncovered
And people will be forced to wake up

Lin Lane August 13, 2023 at 7:14 AM I love the truth in your lines, Michelle. There are some who go to great lengths to try and ruin a person's reputation, but only if we allow their rants and attempts to despoil us to be a stone thrown. Ignoring such people is not a simple matter, but it's the best way I've found to prevent their stones from wounding me. I relish silence. Michelle Morris August 13, 2023 at 7:35 AM Thank you for sharing your insights and advice. I have definitely experienced this and tried to do as you have. It's definitely a challenge. But walking away with your head held high and integrity intact takes the sting out of it a bit. Take care and stay safe. Best wishes that it never happens again. :-)
