Spiritual Vitality..

As I wandered through the cloistered, cluttered streets

The overwhelming sense of the pulse

Even as the sun blossomed into the fury of the day

Swirls of flimsy cotton danced in the deepness

In the recesses of my hazels

Every breath

Guiding my steps, energies of my ancestors seeping into the hems of sweeping fabric

Every breath

How life is consumed spoken in the quiet of death?

Once, as streams of life giving waters rushed

Prayers lifted

Thunder heavy in tune with the pulsing of my heart

Dancing in shadows

Dancing in sweet smoke

Crossing the threshold even as prayers abounded

My journey has been twisted and complex

Even as Mother night cradled me, singing softly

Calling to the core of my soul

Reunion at the crossroads caused fear to shiver before me

Ancestral spirits parting the waters, reaching my shore

Wandering through my Valley

Understanding His majestic power

Understanding the threshold not yet for me to cross

Children of the Creator, serving different purposes

Haunting reflected back to mine

Shattering tears that had wept

In the brilliance of a loved one’s transformation

In the dying arcs of frozen tears

Reborn even as my soul was quieted

Shivering in the waning heat of the gentle summer day

Swathed in the colors of heaven

Crowned with Motherhood

In her tones I hear the voices of nameless women, symphony

In her eyes, connected
