Held in the unknowing

Held in the unknowing

Kayla Goodman

in the quiet
find your peace—
a place to be
when nothing else
makes sense

rest your head
in the unknowing,
the unfamiliar,
the obscure—
for here, you are

nothing will
make sense
yet

in this crucible,
change is already here

what you once knew
is no longer true,
and all of life
groans with anticipation,
aching to glimpse

your transformation—
as you become
wholly undone,
held in your chrysalis,
until you burst
into new life

Poems & Paraboles publishes work that illuminates, awakens, or opens a small window toward wonder. Some pieces are quiet. Some are bold. Some carry a moral thread, while others wander into the mysterious and ethereal.

Poets and storytellers are invited to submit their work. Selected pieces will be posted and featured throughout the year. See Submission Guidelines!
