I Lost My Talk

I Lost My Talk
Rita Joe (1932–2007)

I lost my talk
The talk you took away.
When I was a little girl
At Shubenacadie school.
You snatched it away:
I speak like you
I think like you
I create like you
The scrambled ballad, about my word.
Two ways I talk
Both ways I say,
Your way is more powerful.
So gently I offer my hand and ask,
Let me find my talk
So I can teach you about me.

Welcome

We invite you to cradle with us in THE CRADLE, in search of the Beauty, the one which is sometimes hidden, damaged, confused, misunderstood, unrecognized, unknown or forgotten, but still the Beauty, just waiting to be called out and loved.
