THE VOICE WITHIN

It is the voice within that speaks
But to hear her true tenor
Requires a desire to listen.
Beyond the self is the space,
A place of belonging amongst;
Those who will not listen,
Those who want to despise,
Those who want to harm.

Without a voice from her truth
I am like the others – stuck.
Hearing you speak shapes
New moments of possibilities
Where the light shines again;
For those who choose life,
For those who know why,
For those who change.
