Meeting With Shadows

By the light of the moon.

She sees her shadow.

The gripping tales

Of old bones

Carrying the weight

Of thousands.

She yearns for home.

For a place of solace.

A place to rest.

But yet she sits.

In all the pain.

Begging to be acknowledged

In all of its fullness.

Step out into your power.

A call from her ancestors.

Your pain is meant to be felt.

To feel it all so others can see.

The fullness of being alive.

In all that is.

Letting go

Of all that was.
