the lost sisterhood

old remnants comes together
as i emerged myself within 
the waters of life
that did not rise above my head
but its touch soothed my spirit
as i listened to replications of nature
presented to me in human’s stereophonic

----- and i wondered,
while bathing in cheap bubble bath
that smelled like expensive roses
softening my body i meld with the water
i was feeling good about myself

----- how much richer can i get
than to bond with the water 
by releasing water
the point where the two 
comes together is awesome
while listening to humans 
replicating nature
exquisitely

and i set my thoughts free
remembering an old line --
seek ye first
yes, ye seek first

as i laid down this body 
and succumb to quietness
an old left hipbone on one so young 
begun its slow rhythmic painful dance
rising to such a high peak it forced me 
to use humans’ creations for relief
when the pains didn't stop 
i prepared for spiritual creations
found three odds and ends candle holders
holding unscented blue candles
reminding me of the universe
i watched as the fire danced
half of my body was submerged in water
the other half was listening 
to humans’ replications of nature

all at once, above the pain
just past my inner ear
i heard a soft healing voice from within
so soft it shattered the loudness of my pain

there was someone i was suppose to reach ---
and within my human's ego i noted, just one?
and the voice whispered ---- 
everything begins with one – 
ye seek first

and behold i saw remnants 
of something as old as time
and my eyes blinked in anticipation
and there they were --- 

these women without skin
light illuminating their bodies --- 
exposing purplish-blue veins
wherein their lives flowed --- 
and within this state of awareness
they dived among the animals ---- 
covering themselves with mud
hiding from their nakedness ---- 
betraying secret thoughts 

and here we are ---- 
women light had forsaken 
who, in amazement ---- 
grasping this state of awareness 
within our souls
bleached our dark skin ---- 
to lay open our heart to our sisters
and the balance was electrifying ---- 
for all who witnessed this metamorphic
were enlightened by it ---- 
and together we found the remnants
of the lost sisterhood

and here i am … 
feeling good about myself
listening to humans’ replications of nature
cloning it beautifully --- 
i am feeling no pain
