POETRY
Speak in Soul Rain
Hope awake
To speak is to risk, a daring choice,
Courageous souls lift up their voice,
But judgment lurks, and pain may find,
Those who dare to speak their mind.
So words stay hidden, safe and sound,
Sheltered from the storms around,
In the silence, thoughts dwell,
A secret world they weave and foretell.
But oh, the power of words untold,
Yearning to break free, to unfold,
For hidden truths wish to be shared,
To heal hearts burdened and ensnared.
So take the risk, let words be spoken,
In the open air, let them awaken,
For in vulnerability lies strength and hope,
To speak is to risk but also to reclaim.
To speak is to risk, to open the heart,
Exposing vulnerabilities, tearing your life apart,
Judgment and pain may come your way,
Yet courage whispers, “Speak anyway.”
Words stay hidden, sheltered from soul rain,
Safe in the shadows, free of disdain,
But within each silence lies untold power,
Waiting to bloom like a delicate flower.
Fear not the storm that may arise,
For truth and honesty will be your allies,
Let your voice soar, unafraid and strong,
For in your words, your spirit belongs.
Embrace the risk, let your truth shine bright,
Speak your heart’s song into the night,
For in the vulnerability of being real,
You’ll find the strength and courage to heal.
To speak is to dare, to take a chance,
To open up and join life’s dance,
Yet in that risk, there lies a fear,
Of judgment’s sting, so near.
Words unspoken, locked away,
Hidden from the light of day,
Sheltered from the stormy skies,
Where vulnerability lies.
But in the shadows, silent and still,
Lies a voice waiting to fulfill,
A longing to be heard and known,
To break free from the fear that’s grown.
So take a breath, let courage reign,
For in your words, there’s strength to gain,
Speak your truth, let it be your guide,
And watch as fears and doubts subside.
