Discovering Light

Discovering Light 

Cry Ugly shame lost its power

Shame was regret…

Buying into malicious judgment I wasn't good enough…

He knew I was more than good enough… I gave all I was capable of… 

He loved me because I gave 100%… even when my 100% fell short 

He channeled his disappointment and hope through his poetry. 

Discovery emerged reading his heirloom book… regret quickly segued into shame.

Shame perfected as a child… stepping stones used to set my foundation 

Decades devoted to unraveling the source… reflected in the dark strands of thread woven in my tapestry 

Oblivious of the light, silver and gold spun adjacent to and translucent overlay… changing the tapestry's initial designation.
