"The rest of us watch from beyond the fence as the woman moves with her jagged stride into her pain as if into a slow race."-Margaret Atwood Golden by Carmen H Gray I heard a crack in the giant ship That held us through the turbulent waters Every cell inside me wanted to claim The sticky sweetness of delicious blame There is no end to the darkness Only moments of respite Like the glints of sunlight on the darkest water Like witnessing evolution in my son and my daughter Life is a series of moments of graceful suspension From the thorns, the suffocation, the stumbling Like the unassuming fools that we are We find ourselves cast into places Into unforeseen situations and faces Some of us want nothing more Than to point and blame what surrounds us Some of us want only to bear the burden And yet there remains a way out of the dueling pain Forgiveness is golden
