Sometimes

Sometimes I can block out
the noise, fodder and distraction
and hear that inner voice

who tries to say her lot
always calm and gently
It often disappears under the rumble.

Her voice is rooted in love
and always looking out for my wellbeing

when I stop ruminating, interrupting,
habitually filling the awkward silence,
I free the inner me

out of the cage of silence and past hurt
out of the chamber of iron and thorns
to express utter knowing and passion

when did being authentic become so scandalous?

Tear

A tear in the fabric
Discarded and forgotten 
no time to mend the broken

The wind broke the silence 
and the leaves twirled 
unable to change their course.

Strong foundations seemed to crumble 
and rumble, left tattered 
and back to their original stone.

Was it too late to turn back time?
Have I had enough of this game of chance 
where no one wins?

The night brought an early chill, 
even though it was only late afternoon.
A voice seemed to stir 

from the rubble, from the tattered 
and torn into shreds.
The stars shined through

A reminder that all isn’t lost 
all isn’t gone in the dark.
There is a constant light that can never dim.

Finding my Voice

Healing Insights with JenLeave a comment 
I used to be afraid of the dark 
and the deep shadows in the 
corners and depths unseen.
A watchful eye, I did not feel alone.

My voice was not to be believed or 
listened to. 
First by others 
then by my own accord.

It felt drowned out by many others 
whose voices rose above 
and outmatched mine.
I no sooner gave up.

How many years would pass before I 
could sing and chant 
to my growing belly 
in my kundalini mantras.

My voice like a bellow 
no longer soft and meek. 
It reverberated off the walls 
and landed in my heart 
and in my palm.

My body shifted and transformed.
Motherhood.
I was ushered into a new role. 
Determined to be more loving, more present,
more grateful.

I not only found my voice,
I found my courage 
and the authority to 
speak what is mine. 

I am paving the way 
for the next generation
to be believed.
To be seen and heard.
