Out of Equilibrium

There is a light within me, that will one day shine without me.

There is a song in my heart, that in a day as yet unknown, will bellow a sweet symphony into the all-consuming vacuum of the Void.

What bitter-sweet dreams are these that feel so...

There were several entries that were well worded, thoughtful, and sincere. This one, however, was the most glaring telling of truth that I had the privilege of imbibing. Each turn of phrase was met with a turn of the stomach. That is to say, gut wrenching, yet with a warmth that ties it all together. That warmth becomes increasingly evident through the acknowledgement of no fault on the part of the offended yet pride in those same persons whose resiliency is so eloquently penned. I do sincerely say thank you for bearing your soul and by extension, the souls of those wronged, past and sadly present. Great work and please continue speaking truth to power!
