I'm sorry

I'm sorry..
I'm sorry for ignoring you and putting you in a drawer
I'm sorry for hushing you with a lie of something is more urgent
I'm sorry for taking the lead instead of letting you slip in and glow
I'm sorry for swallowing you down deep, instead of letting your greatest medicine shine out
I'm sorry for not comforting you when you had your tantrums of passion and Truth
I'm sorry for looking through the false lens of, "someone else can do it better."
I'm sorry for filling up quiet space with noise instead of listening to your voice of power
I'm sorry for reaching for the distraction to cover up your brilliance while the old records circled
I'm sorry for not being the greatest receiver of You by taking your hand, pulling you in close and sitting with you saying:
​" Beloved Inspiration, SPEAK. I am here to listen."
