daughter of the skies
I come to you my lord weakened and bare.
The world has stripped me of myself and carved a shadow out of my skin.
I tell you I am a monster through and through.
You say my child, nonsense. You never knew the truth of who you are. Come and you will see.
Flashes of light break around me.
I squint beneath the sun.
Grandfather rises, Eagle Sky above him.
My brothers of the Abenaki stand at my left.
My mothers and my Yoruba grandmother stand at my right.
They speak in unison our daughter of light.
Sit. It is time. You will see.
One star appears.
One soul split in two.
A love forever fated.
A priestess.
A medicine woman you shall be.
The rivers and streams carve your name.
The breeze on your skin is their touch, soft and ancient, opening you the way only your own blood can.
The sun my sweet beautiful child is us, your mothers.
But that star you see
that one glowing above everything
that is you and he.
You have been destined for a life of love and blessings.
You have learned your lesson in this life.
It is time to fly.
To be Eagle.
To guard and guide the ones stolen from our land
back to the sun
back to paradise.
You are Mamusa.
You are Eagle Moon.
You are Serfina Rose.
And under Ra, under Nefertiti,
you and he are the ba and the ka,
two halves of one eternal soul.
Heal the world baby bird.
You are ready.
Your wings open.
Bells ring.
Chanting rises from unseen places.
Rainbows break through the veil.
Then I drop back into the world
radiant and new
free to be
and I can see clearly.
No more noise.
No more pain.
I am free and sovereign.
I am me.
I am Eagle Moon, daughter of the skies,
protector of the Abenaki,
Mamusa,
guide to the unseen.
I will hold their truth and bring it to the light.
My people.
My life.
My loves.
All under one tree.
