Harmony

I am discovering
That harmony is beautiful
Unless sought at the expense
Of honesty and truth;
For then what will result,
Is simply hidden discord.

I am realising,
Honesty’s only part of truth.
It’s the telling of my truth;
Knowing the actual truth,
Needs to be understood
From a wider perspective.

I am discovering
Whilst honesty is wonderful,
If it’s done at the expense
Of kindness and of love,
The result is often
Needless pain for all concerned.

I am realising,
That adding kindness simply means
To demonstrate I care,
About the impact of
My truth, my honesty.
Knowing pain may still arise.

I am acknowledging
That if I withhold my truth,
To try and keep harmony,
It does not bring me joy.
It is not love of others,
Or myself. It’s only fear.

It is dawning on me,
That pain can be a steppingstone;
The voice that guides to healing,
Both of self and others.
Followed, past fear, with love,
It can lead to harmony.
