Proverbial Wisdom *

by paul-hansford

In wine is truth, but truth is sometimes hurtful. If I hurt you, I never meant it so. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and what's said can't be unsaid - this I know. It's best to tell the truth and shame the Devil. What might have happened is non-history. So seize the moment, say what needed saying. In wine is truth,      and the truth shall set you free.

I had this in mind for years before I wrote it fully, having only the title and the first and last lines. It’s shorter than I had hoped, but it says what I wanted.
