The Fearless Dark

a poem

I used to fear the dark
until I realized it had always lived inside me
the feminine dark of the night sky
the still darkness of possibility and power

I used to fear the silence
until I realized it lived at my core
the silence of calm strength
the full silence where all sound is born

I used to fear being myself
until I realized there was nothing else I could be
the body, the mind, the wild heart
all completely unique to me

I am the fearless dark
I am the roaring silence
I am all the power and potential reflected in you
