our ancestors
knew how
2 play
with the
peaks &
valleys of
the land
creating divets
& pivots
2 slow
the flow
of water
so (spir)it
could hold
still in
the soil
stretch wide
in2 the
earth &
pour deep
in2 the
birth of
the next
generation
& the
next &
the next
& the
next cuz
the text
of our
love 4
ourselves is
written all
over the
promised land
of our
dreams those
sketches etched
in2 our
bones within
so even
tho we
can’t see
them we
know faith
is where
the journey
begins middles
ends 4ever
cycling thru
our circle
of kin
Powerful family! 👏🏽
