Refiner’s Fire

She is clothed with strength and dignity. She laughs without fear of the future.

Silenced by blades of hesitancy, 

Words fall short of our desires. 

Though fleeting thoughts turn true when wounded, 

The flame that lights is undying. 

Vulnerability yields truth from pain; 

Innateness of our existence transcendent. 

The energy permeating all human dimensions, 

An essence that does not die. 

Together we are the wounded healers, 

Scarred by life’s sweet pains. 

but to bind one’s wounds with understanding, 

Gives space for others to speak without fear. 

In truth, our wounds do too bear beauty, 

As for them, we grow strong. 

Through recognition of these imperfections, 

Together we may share and be liberated.
