A single Word
Dub poetry
Spoken word
Beat poetry
Slam poetry
Transformative poetry
Poetry pure poetry
Open heart
dissolves the chains
that once were viewed as unbreakable
invites me to see
that it is me
that is unbreakable
poetry has the power
to overturn those imposed sentences
pain, torment, shame,
and
all the other shadows that linger
outside our form
to be heard
to be scene
we are the ones
uncovering shrouds
how do I have to be
in order
for you to be free
when words
become poems
doors open
pathways surface
connections
create a choir
heard round the world
So here we are
Together
Weaving quilts
made of words
So strong that they float
Gentle
Through past
Lighting this very moment
Shining on…
Our future
Author Statement
This poem comes from reading the poems that are finding their way to this site. And, in reading the poems, I find connections with people I have never met, and in those connections lives strength, spirit, the awareness that together we are on a journey of authentic social transformation. What a gift we are all creating together.
With profound gratitude.
