Every
Fears wrapped through me like a premature baby cuddled in white cloth
Fears drown through me
Fears dissolving in this skin like ancestry wounds bandaged
In purple blue black
Carved in stones, museums
Permanent like books that were never read - journaled
Fears that cut the spiritual umbilical cord
Lives in me chained in my very being mining mind revelations
Elations leave me digressing
What does it mean to be a black spiritualist
Hiding between cracks and finding your soul in candle lights
Stones call you
Water moves elegantly for you
I am calling, are you listening?
This depth resides in me
you hear the messages the waves carry, vibrate through me
Evaporate all these generational curses
Drown these fears deep in oceans
Let these wounds be healed by grace through me
These are the messages from the water
These are the sounds of the Gods that guide you
You seem to have forgotten your agreement before that body
Housed your essence.
To these waters, you come back to remember
To drown these doubts
