It’s When the Earth Shakes
It's when the earth shakes
And foundations crumble
That our light is called
To rise up.
And shakes us to the core
And awakens all
Of our hidden ghosts
That we dig deeper to find
Once inaccessible strength.
It’s in times when division is fierce
That we must reach for each other
And hold each other much
Much tighter.
Do not fall away now.
This is the time to rise.
Your light is being summoned.
Your integrity is being tested
That it may stand more tall.
When everything collapses
We must find within us
That which is indomitable.
Rise, and find the strength in your heart.
Rise, and find the strength in each other
Burn through your devastation,
Make it your fuel.
Bring forth your light.
Now is not the time
To be afraid of the dark.
― Chelan Harkin
Chelan is among my most beloved poets.
May her strong voice and expansive heart
be an inspiration and a soothing balm
for our hurting hearts.
💗 Molly
