Oh Woman! R i s e


Oh woman

Call yourself back

From your isolation
from stagnant trenches
arrid deserts
hollow caves
and claustrophobic shadow lands
that
speak
behind
rustling
leaves
and
backs

Sing the soulful sinew back onto your bones

Drum
and
stamp
the
tattered
scattered
pieces of yourself
back together
Those parts
that were politely ripped from your hands
and heart
while you smiled
 and 
e n d l e s s l y
poured
out
more
than
you
had
to
give

Start

Even if in silence
rocking alone
in the dark

Start

Even if in whispers 
Or crawling

It is time to inhabit
the luminosity of your skin
This vast wise container that is you

They will never know who you are
if you do not stand firmly
in these thighs
breasts
and feet
that speak stirring stories
that rattle
tightly bound
one track
minds
and suffocated hearts

If you do not
they will force feed you with lies
spin
you
in
circles
fill you
with a million stories that are not yours
attempt to shatter your vast spaces
that know not of confinement
and only know
the wisdom every cell in your body speaks
every nuance
pulsation
vibration
ripple
pulse
and twitch

They will tell you you are crazy
That you imagine the mystery of your heart
They will interrogate you
demand answers
why's and how's

as you lie tied to their crosses

You hear yourself echoing
 answers
explanations
apologies
in their dark airless torture chambers
while the landscape of your heart
you have walked
track by track
barefoot
blindfolded
naked
in the dark
over
and
over
again

warns you

not
to
betray
it's
timeless
wisdom
that
surpasses
all words
and
bounds

Oh woman

Divine feminine beauty in all your shapes and forms

It is time to R
                         I
                            S
                                E

You need to call yourself back
into the centre of your skin
You need to inhabit this profound territory
shine through the thick tangible veils
in the absolute
T R U T H
of who you are
and what you know without words.

There will be no further annhilation on these grounds.
No
further.
