Let Your Truth Speak
We all have an open invite
called upon in life
to take our stand.
.
This stand we take
and the voice
we communicate
is like a mirror
we hold up
to reflect
and self illuminate.
.
Do you like what you see when peering
into the looking glass of fate?
.
Do you believe what you hear
from your voice so near?
.
Whether Letters or Images
Poetry or Prayers
Protests or Speeches
These artistic expressions
are archives of our humanity
An honor bestowed to all
willing to share their voice

Through growth, grace,
wisdom, and courage
Let Your (my) Truth Speak!

In honor of all those
who have, or had,
the courage
to take a stand.
