“Only when we’re brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
― Brené Brown, Daring Greatly

words stumble on her lips
unutterable
closed in
she falls

trying to speak
to dissolve the shame
in the midst
of untruth
that cements
falsehood

feigned appearances
masked darkness
lurking
beneath
the disguise

confessions of being deeply flawed
explode underground vaults
and silence shatters

she dimmed the light
just a little
by acquiescing
to who they wanted her to be….

her truth is a broken hallelujah

“There are years
that ask questions
and years that answer.”

~ Zora Neale Hurston

“The secret of life is to let every segment
of it produce its own yield at its own pace.
Every period has something new to teach us.
The harvest of youth is achievement;
the harvest of middle-age is perspective;
the harvest of age is wisdom;
the harvest of life is serenity.”

~ Joan D. Chittister
