Apology To Willy Poem by Ariel ~

The 'Willy' referred to in this poem is my friend & poet, Willy Whippor Willow, Jr.
***************************************************************************

I heard someone complain about something
my friend did to her.
My heart cried that someone feels so mad at a person
who I care so much about.
It was about something that hurt someone.
My soul yelled at my friend for doing something that mean -
when she is such a kind, loving person.
Now I ask her forgiveness, for my soul was so loud
that it's words escaped my mouth
and fell on her ears, and I made her heart cry, too.

(November 1984)
