day 251

 "I must speak, so that I may find

          relief;

    I must open my lips and

          answer.” Job 32:20

 

when i would

turn away, help me

to confront injustice.

when i would

walk away, make me

run full out into despair

to rescue the forgotten.

when i find

it so much easier

to remain silent,

loosen my lips so

i can sink the ferries

of fear
