Proverbs 32 By Catherine Zickgraf


Wise women have said

don’t play with scary friends. 

Don’t run straight for a path of distress 

if you already see where it goes.

 

And if your young eyes are still opening,   

remember don’t play with danger.

Wise women have warned you,

and they’ve lived enough you can trust 

they see around some corners.  

 

Listen: 

don’t bond your spirit with evil people

who will abandon you so deep 

in the darkness you’ll never be seen again. 

 

Wise women have said 

choose your paths wisely because 

you can’t go back to where you began.  

 


Two lifetimes ago, Catherine performed her poetry in Madrid. Now her main jobs are to write and hang out with her family. You can find her in the Bluesky. Watch and read more at www.caththegreat.blogspot.com
