Truth Poem by Christopher Thor Britt

From silence comes silence
From solitude, a prayer
Running brings distance
Foolishness, a stare
Misery looks for misery
For it hates to be alone
Time, it waits for no one as
Seasons come and go
Waiting teaches patience
Goodness wears a smile
Kindness takes one simple step
That runs a country mile
Wisdom teaches wisdom to
Those who seek to learn
Selfless love gives all
Asking nothing in return
From God the truth is planted
From His hand the seed is sewn
It spreads itself upon the wind
And grows wherever blown
Truth is firmly rooted
Growing stronger like a tree
It’s fruit, ours for the taking
Truth has set us free.
