Just a Beginning

What goes
without
comment
goes,

or dies
mostly
on the shoulders of the too kind
to engage,

but the right
hand
open to the right fist
makes peace,

and once
in awhile
love.

Let me walk all
of my path,

but also
don't let me fall
all over your flowers
as I stumble.

No growth
that's eating more than giving
is as shinny as it sometimes comes off

So much going out
for the few returns,

don't keep letting,
letting it all go
letting it all just keep
on going.

Say
what you see
and what you know.

My growth
and your growth
are more than either of us alone
could do
and that's just a beginning...
