Revealed
By Bonnie-Jean Heather
Yet another Independence Day – July 4, 2008
A wise man fortuitously entered my world.
I had taken the first steps toward freedom.
Now he gently nudges me through the thickly
forested jungle of a past swept under
the verdant carpet of organic muck.
He revealed me to myself.
Advanced in years, tender shoots of new creation
are slowly breaking through the entangled mire.
Once upon a time I hid behind powerful men
and lived in the shadows of obedience.
Now I’m venturing to peak through the foliage
to the terrifying wonder of open uncharted space.
Where does one hide when exposed and assaulted by
the words of great authors?
I’ve been revealed and stand naked and exposed
to my shame and healing.
The sun is burning off the deadened layers
of scales as I stand in the unknown.
I think I’m finally ready.
