Emerging

The Whispers got louder

The Wind paused

Along with the virus

Came an opening, a 

Portal shared by those

Whose hearts, minds

And bodies yearned 

For Change.

We connected together

A Community

Watching all of the 

Suffering and dying out

Of the poor and oppressed

Police brutality

Patriarchal violence

Too many amazing 

Souls and bodies

Being killed.

We grieved

We were angry

We were powerful

We wanted change.

We sat quietly

Waiting for instruction.

Once received, we

Recognized our roles

We knew our tasks

We wrapped up in

Sweaters and blankets

Preparing for our journey

Even during June's

Summer Solstice

Black Lives Mattering

Dismantling the Patriarchy

Welcoming the Divine Feminine

Fully into our souls.

One by one

We stepped out

Into the hot bright

Summer day 

Whistling and singing

Dancing, swaying and rocking

A Chorus of Delight.

A fog set in during

The ceremony, clouding

Our eyes briefly.

When we awoke

We were slipping

And sliding all the way

Up into the sky, though

Still rooted to the earth

Soaring from our roosts

Thunder and wind

Parted the clouds

As we flowed onwards
Up, higher and higher

Lightning struck and

Behold, we emerged

Connected with the weather

At one with Mother Nature

At one with each other and

At one with The Divine Goddess

We were never alone again.
