Righteous

Then there's God. There's always God.

Righteous:
It is a word I have only
Previously applied
To Pharisees.

Righteous
Has been applied
To me
Twice in this last week,
A compliment
Both times
In very different
Contexts.
It even felt
Like a compliment,
Both times.

Language is an odd thing.
Words can carry
A wealth of meaning.
It depends
On the person speaking,
On the person listening,
On the understanding
Of both.
Then there’s God.
There’s always
God.

Righteous appears to be
In the eye and heart
Of the beholder
And the beholden.
And God.
There’s always
God.
