Reflection

Thank you, Friend, for taking me here
For what you saved me from there.
What I was -
<snip> - and could have done
Without your sharp intervention.
Just sometimes, I remind myself,
Dust I was - and dust I’ll return.

Yet, I know – No!! - what you promise,
You deliver in your good time.
How, Listener, can I undo this:
Words I speak; the pain I cause,
Lives I crush; the mess I make?
As this I write, you undid that.
