Truth

I saw a poem by Rumi entitled "The truth within us", and a couple of poems tumbled out of my fingers and onto the screen.

Truth
1.

The truth is within us,

I read that

in a poem.

The truth is within you,

I've seen that too.

Interpret both however you want

Religiously,

Spiritually,

Literally.


The truth will set you free.

The truth is in your heart.

Buy the truth and don't sell it.

Gospel, Psalm, Proverb.

Mercy and truth.

Truth and compassion.


Truth, 

facts proven true.

By who?


2.

Her words were like poetry,

Free form phrases

Occasionally rhyming,

Words in rhythm,

An outlet,

An invitation,

Her truth.
