Stiff upper lip and thick skin
blocked some of the blows,sure. But
they also blocked something she
needed more than oxygen,
more profoundly than safety,
more urgently than bars.
.
And now that she’s finally
transparent, those places where
her heart is the thinnest let
by far the most sunlight through.
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
so glad she has opened up … to let all that pinned up beauty out 🙂
Aren’t you proud of her? 😉 She has done well to remain soft, when she could be all bottled up to this day. I think I could learn from her….
So proud of her 🙂 Yes, I could learn much from her!
I’m in awe of your talent, Melody. Your words connect at so many levels and meanings. May your work continue to be experienced by ever-greater numbers of people so they too can be touched and enlightened by your mastery.
Wow. I’m so SO humbled by you words – how amazing that my thoughts can find a place to rest in other’s hearts! I thank you, Russ…
Interesting, and familiar–at least I hope so. It can take a good long time. God bless you BIG–love, Caddo
