Sunrise in the winter

Poetry

Sunrise in the winter by Bella

Sunrise in the winter feel bitter 
A cold that seeps into my bones 
Spine start to shiver 
I long to walk and sing along the flowing river 
But there’s places frozen over, dormant just beneath the surface

 
There’s lessons in the water,
I know I am the daughter 
The moon is my mother 
And the sun is my father 
Spirit don’t let me falter 
Fall to my knees at the altar

And I feel stagnant 
Ain’t it tragic 
Fighting against old habits 
Tryna find my balance 
On ice 
I call upon the healers 
My ancestral teachers 
Remind me to believe love
Will bring us back to life 

Early sunsets got me smoking every night
Numbs my body, it distracts me from my mind sometimes 
The darkness whispers that we are divine 
And it’s time for you to step into your light
My child
Remember who you are, the spark the root the heart
You are infinity and beyond 

There’s lessons in the water,
I know I am the daughter 
The moon is my mother 
And the sun is my father 
Spirit don’t let me falter 
I sit by your feet at the altar

Yet I feel stagnant 
Ain’t it tragic 
Fighting against old habits 
Tryna find my balance 
On ice 
I call upon the healers 
My ancestral teachers 
Remind me to believe love
Will bring us back to life

Strength Within

Strength Within by Trinity L. Thompson

In a distance, I hear faint cries
although I know you must heal,
let me dry your tears…
we all have a weakness…cry if you must
allow me to help dissolve your fears,
I too lost grip of so much that I cherished in life…
I often daydream wondering why…
until I’m smiling knowing one day that it’ll be alright,
courage and strength come from within
no one can give us those qualities,
so shine like the brightest star…
dissipate the ignorance of darkness
show the world who you are,
one door closes to lock away the pain…
another door opens to release happiness and change,
just as the tears you cried have dried
then also allow your wounds to heal,
let the magic begin…
reach deep down for your strength within.

love.

love.

by sabr

love is innate,

it ain’t a trait. 

we don’t have to be taught it. 

like the heavy rains after a dry season, 

it just be pouring. 

but it’s fear being spread in these streets. 

we are taught not to listen to our inner knowing, 

my ears have been aching. 

from ignoring the voice within, 

but i have awakened. 

no longer will fear stifle the light that radiates, 

oh love awaits.
