Listening in
A silenced voice yearns to complete its story seeking one empathic soul for true healing
December 15, 2022
If only she had been allowed
to complete her story.
A voice from behind the shroud of fear
would have fallen on the plants at the window
and bounced beyond the rusty gate
and found its own feet to stand tall.
If only the barrage of opinions and solutions
had not battered her into a stony silence.
If only there had been one person
to lock eyes with her, let her sit on,
on her rocking horse-
she may have healed.
