Stay the Course

DSC02378

Stay the course

while others fall to the wayside,

and you’re often tempted to quit.

 

Stay the course

though you’re uncertain

for certainty is not guaranteed.

When the lines fail to delineate

let your heart and your gut take the lead.

Trust that there aren’t always answers…

it’s about the journey not

the end of the road…

You were put on this path for a reason…

so… stay the course.

Exactitude

You wield the sword of truthfulness

and with it pierce my heart

Demonstrating that my judgment

was in error from the start

 

Maybe honesty is not  the best policy after all?

 

But what you fail to see

that I have known all along

Is when one’s actions match their words

the truth is never wrong.

 

It’s when there is duplicity

that some concealment may be needed

when the rules of common decency

and community are not heeded.

 

Though you serve me boldly now

A plate of open-faced bitter I cannot digest…

I’ll walk away, with my head held high

leaving you to drown in your mire and suggest…

 

Perhaps… honesty is  the best policy after all!
