This, I know

The branch lays across the brook blocking the water's flow Some things in life happen this way A conflict, a blockage, things to say So much verbalized, but nothing heard Trying to help, facing each stubborn word Bring you in circles, trapped in this place Where is the welcome, open space? What makes things backwards, tangled, twisted? Brewing in what feels double fisted Bottom line is, it's not worth it, times like these So, be that branch underneath the trees Sometimes, silent is the best to be Listen, care, but let the advice flee To somewhere else in the water's flow One of so many lessons to learn, this I know Heidi Sands 1/20/24 (C)opyright
