You Say Such Things

you have said such things

I would hear your words and fear

my own were insufficient

to stand alongside yours

were mere gurgles of a babe

of one whose words were not as wise

but now

you have said such things

I could hear your words and know

my own fare none the worse

can stand alongside any

as the words of one whose feet

have travelled different paths and times
