Mistaken Identity

 


Do not mistake my tears for weakness

Do not misconstrue my equanimity as inaction

Peace is not the absence of conflict

Stillness is not indifference 

Newton's Third Law of Motion nails the truth

I refuse to fuel the fire of hate.

No, love can be quiet, is patient, its grace easily overlooked

It needs no defense or offense

for it knows nothing is beyond it 

It moves without need of a microphone, or guns or even words 

no, love needs nothing, for love 

finds itself in all things 

in fact, that is how you can tell it is love

for of what could it even be afraid?

Let me move as love, let me hold as love 

let me be as love

dauntless, curious, open-spaced, 

even if I am mistaken for what I am not.
