Love and Presents

Love

Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love takes a while to find.
Love is passionate.
Love is sweet.
Love is free.
Love isn't that hard to see.
Love is in me.

Presents

Presents are gifts.
Presents are joy.
Presents are filled with love.
Presents, Presents, Presents
Come with a smile,
To receive... LOVE and JOY

The Oak

I have a Oak Tree tall and old.
As wind howls the leaves and acorns swift through the wind as if they were mocking jays souring through the wind...

Last Breath

I have been shot
As I lay here
I start to rot
My body is needing
My eyes are closing
My breathing is slowing down
My heart stop
Tis my breath to it I breathes last

Who is the girl?

Who is the girl who is broken-hearted?
Who is the girl who cried?
Who is the girl who will be departed from love because her heart had died?
Who is the girl who refuse to open her heart for a man?
Why has her heart been abused and afraid to be broken again?
Why did it not work when the girl tried her best to forget him?
Why is it when the boy had left he took the girl's heart with him?
When will the girl find true love?
Why in her heart is there hate?
Why has her smile turned to a mug and love in her heart has been erased?
The girls heart is filled with pain and now it is easy to see....
That the girl whose days will always rain,
That sorrowful girl's name is ME

Loved One, Lost One

My hands are up, please don't shoot.
Robbed a store and got some loot?
All of this doesn't sound like me,
grabbed some stuff and gave him my money.
When I walked back home, the police followed me,
And said I stole it. Really?

So you told me to get on the ground, the sirens, guns, tazzers, and hounds.
These are the sounds of the police,
Yet they don't know
how much they hurt the black community.
They took and killed our loved one,
Yet when we stand
They simply say he pulled out a gun.

Love Making

There is Peace in Love

There is Strength in Commitment

As you journey through this love experience

Remember the times that make your heart burn with desires

Remember the times that are filled with indescribable pleasures

Remember the times that 'I Love You' was shared

Remember the times that carried you to and through in this commitment of LOVE....

For it shows the strength of your will in making

~There is peace in LOVE MAKING~

Sacred Wombman Spirit Prayer

Sacred Wombman in the making,
Sacred Womban REawakening,
Sacred Spirit, hold me near.
Protect me from all harm and fear
beneath the stones of life.
Direct my steps in the right way as I journey
through this vision.
Sacred Spirit,
surround me in your most absolute
perfect light.
Anoint me in your sacred purity, peace, and divine insight.
Bless me, truly bless me, as I share
this sacred life.
Teach me, Sacred Spirit, to be in tune with the Universe.
Teach me, how to heal
with the inner and outer elements of air, fire, water, and earth.

The Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman, isn't in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman, must be seen from in her eyes
Because that's the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman, isn't in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman, is reflected by her soul.
It's the caring that she cares to give, the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows.
I wish you bright mornings and warm, sunny days,
Soft shade to cool you from sweltering rays,
Raindrops, a few, from some cloud floating by,
Rainbows thereafter to color your sky.
Rambling rivers and great shining seas,
Mountains and forests with towering trees,
Hillsides and valleys, all flower-festooned,
Nature that nurtures whomever's attuned.
A faithful companion who'll stay by your side,
Children to care for, to love and to guide,
Enough work to do with enough time for play
Then restful sleep at the close of the day.
Friends when you need them and when they need you,
Something to spend, just as much as will do
A heart full of laughter; perhaps a few tears,
A faith you can follow through all of your years.
Then, fearlessly facing your last setting sun,
As you contemplate all the deeds you have done,
Recalling a life that's been more than worthwhile,
Perhaps you will pause and give thanks with a smile.

~Maya Angelou~

It takes a Village

I am asked frequently asked why become a doula, birthing coach, or midwife; why work with mothers during such a sensitive time; why help raise children that aren't yours. Immediately, I recall a sharp memory of a conversation with my grandmother when I was a child. She asked me "How many children are you going to have?" I innocently replied "My stomach is going to be from here (pointing at my stomach) to the wall (pointing off to the wall across the room) of course she laughed and curiously asked "who gon' be the daddy"? I again innocently replied "We won't need one." Presently, I'm well aware that a partner, mate, or companion is highly needed before, during, and after birth. At that time, as I reflect on the conversation I feel I knew the importance of a sister being in the hands of another sister and how valuable that is to the entire family. A mother's care during this time is highlighted with peaceful moments when you have another woman beside you to guide you through such a spiritual moment as birthing (a rites of passage). As for raising children that aren't yours, I will now quote from the Kongo, Art of Babysitting regarding Community which represents family. Community: A never-ending process of growth, development, transformation and accountability. The well-being of the community depends on the health and wholeness, the successful maturation of the persons who constitute its membership (Father, Mother and Child). We the original models, teachers, representations, examples, figures, and so on... of working together; within a community, village, land, and so forth... must see how vital it is for all to be on one accord with the dynamics of Loving Self and Kind and working with the rest. Knowing thyself means embracing thyself as well and being comfortable in that image that is in the likeness of God and God's Essence.

GOALdigger

In Au, she is positively charged with the warming Sun's energy
Aiming to purposely heal your mental conditions
Constantly digging for the root of your visions
Least reactive to your negative incisions
10 piece nuggets she holds and stands...
Passion
Beauty
Gratitude
Love
Giver of Life
Endurance
Resilience
Patience
Understanding
Knowledge of SELF
She is made of properties that remain
Even through the misty storms and strong winds
Desired to succeed and planning to achieve
A GOALdigger regenerates as an electrical conductor flowing in the wind
One or more directions with a powerful objective
She has been labeled Atomic for 79 reasons
So she pays no mind to the whispers from behind
For her debt has been paid and transcends time

Point Taken

'Begin all prayers and thoughts by using the ALL'

Give Thankhs, Honor and Praises to the ancestors for this time in space to share their light among the stars.... Ashe'

The point of it all is truly vantage take a moment and add your perception
What do you see is the point of it all
Our future generations is a start
traveling highly favored distances to share their light and shine through the darkness
that comprehendth not.
Do you see your point in it all?
How needed you truly are.
We innerstand your converse with self.
The answers you receive with a limit of information, data, or knowledge is likely
Like WE far out to reach but stand tall and watch your legs grow, your mind expand and your soul glow.
Your spirit will dwell with the righteous of the land and transform to GOLD with every hand held GOAL on papyrus scrolls... it is written.
We have reached a point that says it all in the mind that is a-pparent or a guardian, who carries the light of the youth.
This mind must reflect the reasonable points of it all... the be Gan in, the Enclosed Garden of Eden, the fruit of your looms that are heir to your genetic throne.
The point of the final vantage is the Elder
that holds this life's journey in the Palm of their hands, in the sweat of their brow, in the content of their notions, and in the reasoning of their reality.
They are sent to view the points for us all to see the connection... !Point Taken!

May the ancestors of righteousness continue to walk with us and show us the points of ALL
