Black Wombyn
Strong
Sensual
Sensitive
Mighty
Mystical
Majestic
Great
Glamorous
Glorious!
Long before…stripped from knowledge of self
Forced into foreign territory…
Trapped!
Lost!
But not gone…
Once again growing like a flower knowing
Who She is!
Black wombyn
Young and elder
Emerging…
from darkness into the bright light of a new day…
Wakey Wakey…Black Wombyn
MA’ART
It's been used
Looks a bit bruised
No longer wanted...discarded!
Then I appear
Excitement…Everywhere!
Storming creative ways to repair
Sand it down!
Paint it, pink, blue, black or brown
Decoupage?
Fabric or paper?
I’ll take it home for later…
Allowing it to whisper for me to hear
"Restore Me...Please My Dear"
After waiting all alone
For someone like me to appear
Against a wall
Or thrown in the dumpster…
of the previous owner
Homeless and worn
I offer the piece a new place of abode
TLC!
Come with me
I’ll repair the damages
Make it stronger...it will live longer!
A new beginning...
It brings so much joy
Me…Like a child with a brand new toy
I gather my materials, my tools and
Let the magic in...let's begin
Meditation in the midst of Creation
I'm in the zone...forever grateful…
As the saying goes…
One man's junk is another one’s treasure
As far as I can see…
It's nothing but pleasure!
Herstory
Wombyn Grounded
Roots reaching deep
Nourishing!
Soul searching…
the essence of her being
Connected to Earth Mother
Power!
Wombyn Creative
Hips swinging wide in the sensual dance…
of the Universe
Beautiful beyond explanation
Wombyn Strong
Energy surging from the depths of her Soul
Feeling drained
Empty
Yet she rises to the occasion…once again
Wombyn Compassionate
Heart open wide to the feelings she was born to feel
Not to imprison her heart amidst the pain
It is filled with infinite purity of love, that heals
Wombyn Expressive
Speaking her truth although she may not be heard
Do not hold your tongue
protecting others
at a cost she cannot afford
Wombyn Intuitive
feel, deeply
Tuning to the whispers of her Ancestors
Guiding...
Following and trusting...
she will not be led astray
Wombyn Cultivator

FIlled with abundance…
Dance!
Rediscover that inner girl child
It's fun...Wombyn be wild
Heal Wombyn...Be Wombyn...
Let go…
Liberate…
Be free!
My Choice in life
This Life..
My choice by design
This Life a miracle...I am a miracle
This Life a struggle…
This life an adventure…
This life a mystery!
What is happening to me?
Carving this path until I reach my destination...
Assisting in the healing of our Nation
Grateful for the joys and tribulations!
Allowing us to build a foundation...
May eye and eye stand firm
Overcome the obstacles
Embrace our light
Together shining more bright…
Even when thunder licks
And lightning strikes
Let it be so
By day
By night.
Why am I here?
A purpose...what is mine?
...may my pain not be in vain!
Must be a point of me being here...
I cry out internally, externally
no-one hears…
despair!
Yearning to share...
Have meaning
To such a strong feeling...
To lend a helping hand and be that of service
My life...I must take a stand…
Then, eventually I see
A vision! Includes...building a community...
Productivity
Prosperity
Healing
Creativity
Unity!
In living self sufficiently
But how, with what, with who and where?
Re-educate, restore, rebuild and care
Travel and share
Caring enough to dare
That's why I am here.
Daily Baptism
Body tingles with anticipation
Rising of the Sun…
God
The water blessings soon come
gathering the things needed
Rust coloured towel from the chair
Toothbrush in the cup
over there...
On goes the hot faucet and let it run
It’s own song sound loud
Earthy steam...
fills the bathroom
just a touch of cold
Just right
feet into the bath with much delight
My nudity heaven knows its vulnerability
From the top of my head, the water flows
Tickles my skin playfully
caressing, cleansing, blessing me
My baptism
Ritually
The woven netted plastic cloth
catches the liquid soap
They gel well
I rub, scrub, exfoliate
welcoming in a new day
Activate!
Turn off the hot tap
Opposites attract
Prepping my mind
An intense feeling
this cold water...
Invigoratingly Healing!
