I am gentle
With those who
Need it,
I am less so
With those
Who don't need it.
You are my
Priestess,
Strong like me
Connected as I am
So sometimes
You don't need
Me to be
As gentle as those
Who look up to you.
You wrote a letter
To your charges
To your community
A public display
For which many
Needed… a grand
Announcement
And…
Part of which
Was meant for
One person only
Specifically
In fact.
Just as this
Is for all
And specifically
You.
She deserved
To be told
To her face
Not in some
Public notice.
It was cowardly.
Should one of
Your charges
Come to you
And tell of your own
Tale,
Your advice
Would have been
To tell the other
Person directly,
Personally,
One on one,
& you know it.
So know
That your example
Is to show
Those around you
That when it comes
To what you
Personally fear
Should be
Diffused
By making
A public
Service announcement
Because then
You do not
Have to
Face your
Own fear
By looking
The other in the
Eye whom
Deserves to be told
Face to face
You don't
Desire them.
As that
Logic of yours
Has lied to you
It festers as a guilt
Which you have
Since projected
Onto her
Unknowingly.
I am writing you
To stop this
From being
An unconscious act
Of self-deception.
Her heart
Has more
Generosity and
Forgiveness than
You can imagine.
How do I know?
Because I know
That her love
Is bigger than
Your fears.
You need not
Take any action
For her tears
Run down her
Face
As she
Scribes this
For me.
She has felt it
And not understood
Until now.
Just become aware
My Priestess
And don't
Let those
Projections
Poison the image
You see.
For as my Priestess
You must learn
To see as I do,
Light and dark
Together,
Not one to mask
& skew
The other.
