Mustard Seeds

No solemn requests
If ever
Redeemed such bequests
Persons at best are comforters of their own counsels

Though it seems encouragement must be bought with despair
And comfort given by persons too knowledgeable
Isn't that a heavy price to pay for a troubled soul?
To be comforted or not to be, is the begging question

Quiet concern exudes more comfort than splendour of words
Or disposed opinions

Perhaps
Perhaps, some people are more concerned about dispensing
The mustard seeds of their faith

~ Summer 1984
