Promise Louder Than a Thousand Complaints

Laughter is the sun 
that drives winter 
from the human face. 
  Victor Hugo






You are more powerful 
than you know; 
you are beautiful
 just as you are. 
 Melissa Etheridge





Every one goes astray, 
but the least imprudent 
are they who repent 
the soonest.
Voltaire






Grievance binds
The spirit's wings
Trapped in amber
Of discontent

Each muttered lament
Forges another link
In the heavy chain
Of suffering

Unclench your hands
Breathe instead.
Acceptance blooms
When resistance fades

Silence speaks louder
Than a thousand complaints 
Wisdom dances
In the space
Between words.

The Promised Land always
 lies on the other side 
of a Wilderness.
