Through You
by Deborah Tash, San Francisco, CA
Grand Prize Dancing Poetry Contest, 2021
What wants to be spoken through you
Does the grace of the ineffable choose you
With the clear poignancy of love
Using your voice to bring messages
That lift up all around you with hope
.
What wants to be spoken through you
Will you allow the resonance of divinity
To call forth the sacred in all things
Naming the presence of Goddess
Sheltered within your truest heart
.
What wants to be spoken through you
Are you willing to embrace your fear
Taming it with recognition and courage
So that you can speak to create a reality
Born in the fires of acceptance and compassion
.
What wants to be spoken through you
When the inevitable pain of loss is ready
To be transformed in the alchemy of joy
Can you allow yourself to claim the words
And bring it to all with ears to hear
