Poem: Heal the Shadows

Heal the Shadows

Beneath the smile, behind the eyes,
Lie silent rooms and unheard cries.
Not all wounds bleed, not all pain shows—
Some live where only shadow goes.

But even night has stars that gleam,
And every scar remembers dream.
The darkest roots birth tallest trees,
And broken hearts still carry peace.

So sit with sorrow, let it speak,
Its voice is soft, its soul is weak.
But when you listen, not to flee,
You give the hurt permission to be.

And in that space, a light is born,
A dawn within the quiet storm.
The past won’t change—but you will grow—
And love will heal what shadows know.

Thank-you for reading.

Much Love and Light,

Brenda Marie
