SAELIG

Silly
Is foolish.
Not at first.
It started as saelig
And meant holy and innocent.
When did the light become dark?
Was it shame that laughed at innocence?
Or, is our penchant for good just laughable?
Hearts still yearn for beauty, still long for light.
It takes courage, a wild heart, to stare down scorn.
A mocker’s haughty mirth needs sanction. It cannot stand long alone.
Will not the gentlest spur turn our wayward swaggering hearts aright again?
Truly don’t our hearts long for good, truth, beauty, light and pure innocence?
Completely, utterly witless to stand in darkness and disdain the light! It’s just silly.
