Speak Softly

Daring to say
what is in our hearts
frees our voices to 
speak our truth without
creating small talk
and meaningless static.

Daring to say
what is in our hearts
when discussion is needed
lets even timid voices hear 
the strength of their own souls
despite derision or ridicule.

Daring to say
what is in our hearts 
challenges us
to speak our truth kindly
or not at all ~
finding wisdom in silence.

“All serious daring starts from within.”
~ Eudora Welty, On Writing
