Midnight Orchids

 I wrote this poem after a divorce, and in the years that followed, I began to find my Voice. #GBV Survivor.

 I’m dancing to a new tune
Finding a new meaning
Creating a new song
Finally turning my own pages

I’m writing my own notes
For the first time
Every day
Finding my own beat
Bouncing to a new rhythm

I’m putting it on the line
Speaking my own truth
Singing a real music
Screaming it from my heart

I’m voicing my desire
Walking a new Path
Experiencing an Awakening
Embracing my freedom

I’m feeling my every tone
Making a new life
Amplifying all of me
Celebrating my soul

I’m following my North Star
Holding on to my dreams
Stretching to a new reality
Being a Bold Forty
