A Remedy

A simple conversation can remedy and myriad of conflicts.

Remove yourself from the intentional isolation.
Think the problem over and analyze all parties.
Only then will you see your own weaknesses
and shortcomings.
Then will you understand.

Learn to break the silence that hounds your lips.
Extend an olive leaf gesture.
By then, you have gained the satisfaction of initiating
a dialogue to appease the tension.
Speak your feelings and acknowledge your shortcomings.
Be open to explanations and situations.
Give an open heart and a humble mind.
Let peace pervade the troubled soul.

Clean your conscience.
On a journey, leave behind a clean slate
as you begin a better one.
Do not let those moments hound you any longer
for any longer may be too late.

Give and receive
Gather and understand
Listen and respond
Forgive and believe.
