A Tiny Sliver

Suspicion pushes reason aside like any argument. 

Nothing makes sense but 

for the little sliver that does. 

It’s grasping that tiny sliver;

to hang on is the tough part. 

That little sliver is the love of a real life 

and can push suspicion gently aside.

“Suspicion is a heavy armour and with its weight 

it impedes more than it protects.”

~ Robert Burns
