Night Blessing – For the Healing Heart

May the silence of night soothe you,

like a balm over all you’ve carried.

Let every star be a promise:

even in darkness,

something inside you is mending.

~Esmeralda Raven Aponte

how will I come into hope again?

inquiry for today~ measuring your way home….

expectations received….

I no longer need

to understand it all.

I breathe.

I watch.

I let it be.

No halo,

no answer,

no final name.

Just a loosening

in the chest-

a silence

that doesn’t ask

to be explained.
