Heard

Heard
(c) Rabbi Menachem Creditor
with thanks to Rabbi Amy Eilberg

Voice trembling,
lips stammering,
unclear expressions,
incomplete thoughts,
hard to breathe...

[breathe!]

Yet that unsureness,
exposed-ness,
the fear and worry of a no-longer-protected soul,
the startling recognition of
hidden wells of woundedness...

[breathe...]

held by loving ears,
caring eyes,
responsive, quiet words,

so much weight lifts,
chest re-expands,
heart moves - beats!
and pumps again with life.

[breathe.]

It is profound to be heard,
to feel heard,
to swim in being heard.
