Weakness & Strength

How easy it is to speak

When positioned in strength.

Hard it would seem

When that strength

Stems from weakness

The day we learn to be vulnerable

We become stronger.

Being hard does not belie strength.

Weakness is not beneath you

Clinging to power

Forgetting weakness.

Hanging on to power

In fear.

How hard is it to be weak when strong?

Or strong when weak?

When I take your ebb of strength,

Your source of weakness

Who will you be?

What will you be?

When your trappings are striped away

Where will you go?

Who will you run to?

When the blinds are removed

And you can see brighter than before

Will sunglasses protect you from the rays?

Will your eyes open to see what is real?

Sparks of greatness

Arise from malleability

Of weakness and strength
