The Place Beyond the Wound
Speak from your soul
not from your pain
though pain has sharpened your voice
it was never meant to be the whole story
Pain will tell you
to defend
to strike
to vanish
It speaks in heat and reflex
But your soul
your soul speaks in roots
and rain
and the hush that follows understanding
Let the ache rise
and pass through you
like smoke through sky
but do not build your house there
There is a place beyond the wound
where the soul still knows beauty
still sings
still offers the hand
without trembling
Speak from there
Even if your voice shakes
Especially then
