Not far

Dare to

declare

who you

are. It

isn’t

far from

the shores

of silence

to the

boundaries

of speech.

The road

is not

long but

the way

is deep.

And you

must not

only

walk there,

you must

be prepared

to leap. ~ Nicola Slee, Praying Like a Woman, SPCK, 2004

Are you prepared?

  1. I am really glad that my poem is included in your blog, but I would appreciate it if you would include the source, so that people can find my work and maybe even buy my books!! It’s in Praying Like a Woman, SPCK, 2004.
