I have said nothing
if my words stop with me,
trailing off into some
self-congratulation.
For words are never
only for ourselves,
but always related
to other ears and minds.
Unworthy are sayings
meant to insulate,
meant to self-serve,
forgetting life.
Oh, God am I just?
Am I working well
or simply speaking words?
I want to lift others,
delight the oppressed
and worry the principalities.
I need you Word,
your Spirit to say anything.
(Wisdom 2:23-3:9, Psalm 34, Luke 17:7-10)
