even if tarnish, the truth arriving home is a rather beautiful thing...
ReplyDeleteI think so too--thanks Brian!! Smiles to you!
Deletea moment's pause - something that should be taken every dat. If it was, we might find that beam of truth faster!
ReplyDeleteThank you Robyn!
DeleteTruth is what guides us ... and should always be welcomed :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Green Speck!
DeleteI like the idea of nuanced truth. Nice, tight write.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... looks like we were thinking along the same lines! haha A beautiful piece... I absolutely love when the truth is realized because then amazing things can happen.
ReplyDeleteThe truth does "set us free". Beautiful write!
ReplyDeleteA pause doesn't seem like much to ask--but the word "vial" in there has an ominous sound. We have to check the ingredients of truth carefully ... nuance may do the trick. Nice and spare Poem.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteSome obstacles in between but home is where the heart is! Nicely Audrey!
