I will not be silenced anymore

Silence can fester and sicken

It used to be that silence was necessary to be safe

Speaking was dangerous

But I am safe now

We are safe to speak now

Sometimes it feels as if a tsunami may come if we open up the speak gates

Maybe natural disasters are just the Mother doing her housework

It is safe to speak now

I’ll hold your hand and wipe your tears

I’ll witness your trembling rage

Your waves of grief

Loosen your grip Dear One

You’re safe to feel, to speak

I welcome all of You.
