Submerge

To submerge yourself into solitude
Walking side by side dear reflection
I reflect and ponder every inch of my vessel
Who. Are. You.
Who is this skin, this blood, this thought.
That decision.

Light

In the distance you looked like home
In the distance I felt your warmth
The best kind
Reassuring ole faithful
Trust embedded in our waves
Breaking shores holds my hand
heal my head
I couldn’t wait for me to let go
Let God
For you to lead me

Again

Born beside sacred lands

I toke a bite of eternal life

It tasted of pomegranates and honeysuckle

I paired it with light from the father sky

Dipped it in Earth’s volcanic crust

Allowed it to dry in the wind

Praying to dear Oya again and again

Unmoving

I remember sitting down in an empty space

Unmoving on a cloud

I saw my future there

Declared it aloud

Finding my name is claiming myself
