Queendom

to sisterhood, I surrender

I sink my palms

Soft & subtle

Into the rough Earth

Thirsty for my touch

A Re-Union

Where energies collide

Our hearts beat as one

To-get-her, (together)

We are sisters

Holding hands

After a long journey

Apart—

It is a gift

To be in your presence

Once more.

I had almost forgotten

A bond

As strong as ours.

To sisterhood

I surrender

Deep within the nature

Of our being.

Reborn,

Wild in our

Queendom,

Rising—

With the wind

As our voice

Carrying home

The message

we once sent out

To ourselves

Guiding us back

To remembrance,

We reign

To replenish

What was repeatedly

Raped

Taking more

Than we would ever

Consider bargaining for—

These fields

As dry

As the men who plowed them,

We seek

forgiveness

Not vengeance

In this quest

for Holy water.

The juice of our joy

Will pour eternal

Into all that has become

Barren—

We are

the providers

Stepping into

A season of growth,

So drink up,

Soak your body

Beneath the river

That flows fluently

Within the air

Swallowed in the depths

Of each slumber,

Breath is your testimony

To life

So surrender deep

Into its invisible

Desire to keep you

A conscious conversation

In this unknown world.

About the Creator

Veronica

I am the moss silken on watered stones, rooted deep in rich soil. Earthen creature, I am the night sky -starry and strayed from the forgotten path of poets - I am, the chatter from the iron rails rattling as the train carries itself home.
