How do you know a truth
But that it sings upward from a knowing
Nested deep inside your lonely chest?
It is Something bounding skyward
Rushing towards the light.
Do you Greet it with deep blue vastness?
Or with a tight fist
wrapped around a space
Where some time past
Your song was stopped?
You cannot forget to remember
This soulsong ascending steeply.
It’s liquid and Rhythmic insistence
beating at the gate of your throat,
thrumming at the doorway…
Knocking
You may Do your best to halt it,
You who are afraid of your own heights.
The one who soars inside you
Comes time and again to the cliff’s edge of comfort.
Oh “I know how the caged bird sings”…
Dissolve the barrier brave one
Unleash this hidden eloquence!
Your breakthrough cry
Raises the bar for all beings.
Help us remember with your winged testament
the One song we must never forget.
The One theme with a thousand variations
Born From the cusp of heaven and heart.
~Johanna Bell
Extraordinary. Thank you. So good to read!!!!!
Thanks Gabra! This one sang for you!
Thank you, Jo!
I SO needed to hear this…are we the stoppers of our own heart
veiled in what we think the other imposes upon us? We set it up
one way, we can set it up another! A post of freedom.
mille grazie:)
Hum:). Thanks Jo!
Your words touch my innermost soul of souls. I love you so much beautiful Johanna Bell. Thank you for being.
