Be tender with your dark side now
Lest it mistake your needs.
Your soul in cashmere takes a vow
To keep you safe from deeds
Like words unkind that one might feel.
"Remember when you said. . . ?"
We think that only light can heal.
Dark too can banish dread.
"Tell all the truth but tell it slant,"
She told us, that we know.
No facts, no details to recant,
Just focused breath to slow.
One wakes with thoughts that do not hold.
They dissipate so fast.
So from now on obliquely write.
Be grateful they don't last.
It was on impulse; no, forethought,
Or foresight, better yet.
"And if thou wilt, remember."
"And if thou wilt, forget."
