Perhaps now
After years of silence
& empty pages
I am finding a voice again
Now, my words break free
Of the dry husk wrapped in layers
That kept them safely from light
Emerge from the earth singing
& fly
My song may be offensive and discordant,
But it is loud
& cannot be ignored
Susan Daniels Poetry 
To read that you are writing after such a lapse gives me hope when I feel my own words are silenced by overwork or distraction, too much of the world invading my sensibilities. This is such a brave and beautiful poem and it touched me deeply.
Thank you so much–this is the second piece I wrote after my long silence 🙂
Reblogged this on The Heron's Path and commented:
A poem for a sister. I just read this and its simple power blew me away.
I can so relate to this kind of emergence. Beautiful poem.
Thank you so much!
