open remarks

a word unspoken means much more than speech
what is unseen is valued more than sight
what we most seek is that which most is right

we ask that you repair the open breach
restore the tenor shaken in the night
a word unspoken means much more than speech

you learn the thing that we know we can't teach
and must do so though we cannot requite
with any kindness nor with hope of light
a word unspoken means much more than speech
