feel just like a ladybug
sign of luck and love
feel just like a firefly
lighting up the sky
feel just like a honeybee
life is sweet on me
feel just like a hummingbird
message of good words

holy gratitude
a covering of goodness
has graced us
and held us
thru heart breaks
that are too brutal to even mention

provided a comfort
for the ones who gives comfort
reminding us that
love is a form of
coming home
to ones self

a means of
tending to the cuts
that have bled open
far too long

perhaps healing begins at the core
our closest parts
the danger of a leading
with the open heart
is the worthwhile risk
of unspeakable pain
yet our everlasting
shield remains
this sweet reminder
this sweet refrain

i am closer to you than your jugular vein
i am closer to you than your jugular vein

and what is it called when you are too tired to feel angry

how much of yourself can you
discard in this life without completely disappearing

and i know their comfort in their coldness
creates cruel casualties
so casually

but know
your beauty outshines
the white moon
in a mawlid sky

my sister you sacred scripture
rising sun chaser
feet to the ground
head to the sky
stretching the entire expanse
with kindness

do you know how special it is
that you always seem to find
a new way to give thanks

that you cant seem to pass
by a blooming flower
without stopping to acknowledge
its beauty and calling upon a higher power

that you take appreciation
and grace it upon
all that has been taken for granted

lush gardens rush forward
beneath where your feet are planted

beauty stopping to honor beauty
and remembering the most beautiful

the truth of your reality
wrapped up in the essence of the
most gracious
most merciful
what a divine creature
to be written
within this divine signature

may the peace of god
be upon the wombs
the women who
light the world with
their inner sanctuary

no wonder
all that is beautiful
journeys towards love
and keeps finding each other

no wonder
we journey towards our dreams
and keep finding each other

and in my body i know there
is an answer to every question
and in my spirit i know there
is a solution to every challenge
and in my tradition i know there
is a herb for every ailment

sacred solutions
solving soothing
saving seas of believers


so now i choose to sing
at the first
sign of a rising sun
and this is the way i come home

so now i choose to dance
at the first glance
of a crescent moon
and this is the way i come home

so now i choose to laugh
at the first hint
of a budding romance
and this is the way i come home

so now i choose to run
towards the first thought
of a righteous deed
and this is the way i come home

so now i choose to forgive
at the first grain
of a cruel offense
and this is the way i come home

so now i choose to pray
at the first spark
of a new inspiration
and this is the way i come home

my sister you sacred scripture
rising sun chaser
feet to the ground
head to the sky
stretching the entire expanse
with kindness

you are a breath of freedom
you are a plentiful harvest
you are a gentle smile
you are a safe haven
you are a bountiful blessing
you make life better
make life worth living
and i love you
and i love you
and i love you
