The Silent March of History

If you stand for me
You may be disappointed
When the words that are spoken
Disconnects the hearts of listeners

Passive ears tingle
And the shifting of weight
The growing uncomfortableness

These
The precursor
To the silent march of history
Not away from you
But away from me

Grace
Sufficient Grace
Thorns and briers
For strength
Not for me
But for you
