Claim Your Name

Be not a cracked bell
jangling to the blow
of any hammer
a bag of emptiness
living in uncertainty
a nonperson
trapped in a world
too difficult to understand
an empty void of hopelessness.

No! for you are from God
much more than you
can perceive
beloved
call out your name
Beloved
step into the Light
claim who you are
with firmness and faith
Beloved is your name.
