It is the silence between the notes
The space between the bars
Where I go, to remember
Who I am.
I am not who you say I am.
I am
Who my spirit testifies to.
I no longer hear your lies.
I am spirit, I am beauty.
I am a child and a mother.
I am
The breath of God.
The bruises you left
Have healed now.
Broken bones
Have grown thicker and stronger.
You can not define me,
Because there is peace
In my silent place,
Where I hear only the Voice-Divine
Cajoling me to recall
My celestial inheritance,
And your insults fade
With the knowledge of
Who I am.
