This Distance,
felt within,
holding onto the past
dreams broken
as we approach the last
of the shackles that held us back
here within the darkness
we finally take flight.
Within the present,
our truth creates the light,
those who seek redemption
unaware of the inner fight
that claws away at their essence
and drinks the last of their reserve
blinded by the beast, that feeds on their ignorance,
they gather,
unwilling to make a stand!
breaking away,
pushing aside the pain
pain that takes them within
that forces them to be real,
and yet!
they choose to conform
to support their oppressors,
to push against those who fight for their freedom
and this is the norm?
this makes the most sense?
this reality they have created
built upon lies and deception
upon the shattered bodies
of those who died for the cause,
and who now will raise the alarm!
One voice amongst the many
the distance only grows greater
and the segregation almost complete.
But I see those who hold the light
who shine bright with their truth,
I stand with my tribe
and allow my vision, my reality to take root.
I feel the fear build,
the narrative shake,
glimmers of truth
shining through
and I stand
my whole being,
nurtured by your courage to speak out!
Silence is no longer an option!
your actions scream out,
Here within the darkness,
your light shines so bright!
This poem is written for my Warrior Sister, Warrior Friend Dazzy, who's light shines so feckin bright! May we get to see many more people like her, within this life time.
