From this cocoon
I will burst one day
a healed woman
to carry the babies
inside a new dream.
We will walk
toward the seven
mountains again,
no longer in terror
of Time.

Inspired by Toni Morrison: “One looks to history for the feel of time or its purgative effects; one looks through art for its signs of renewal” (from “The Future of Time” in The Source of Self-Regard).
…inside a new dream . <3
It is a journey I walk on.
“No longer in terror of Time”—what a blessed state.
Powerful! Love the Toni Morrison inspiration!

Very powerful piece packed into a handful of words. Beautiful Stacey!
Thank you so much, Chris.
“I will burst one day

Love and light to you, dear friend.
