Reflections

Visualise in your mind, you are standing at the entrance
To an old Temple
That resembles a place you are from: far away
Feel the warmth that rises from the smooth stone steps
up the soles of your feet, your legs, behind your thighs
The warmth of its gravity grounds you as you release a sigh-
a sensation of bliss that moves above your hips,
Resonates in your core and passes out your lips

This realm of the divine feminine
Is untainted by inner demons and their tales of envy 
You brush your fingers along the ivy
As you understand, this is the Temple Of Your Psyche.

Thick, heavy clouds delicately shroud the world below
You are in a higher place, unseen by mortal eyes
Gaze upon this temple in the sky
The air you breathe here,
Is cool without fear
Though you are alone
You are assured that you are your own.

A bronze sculpture of open hands
Reflects your curving image and shines gold light upon where you stand
This altar is dedicated to the power,
The warmth that vibrates at the center of your palms
Frequencies that push out all you could not deflect
Or articulate with words

Through creation, curation
Mould the clay with precision
Fluid movements like you're boneless 
The forms you create are endless

The next altar: a bronze tongue.
Becomes aware inside your mouth
We bite our tongues until the roots to our head grow numb
Swallow each unsaid syllable climbing down your body

Split you down the middle
Frame your statement as a riddle
Breathe out uncertainty
That censors your certainty
I hear something call me

It was your Self calling your name. 
Tread softly into the garden of shame
The bad seeds we've come to glorify.

Bursting fruits leak with venom that
Rot into soft soil 
Toxic implantations make us dull in strained efforts
To present ourselves as something other than othered. 
I will not hesitate to elevate my state of being
I am tired of feeling outlines of a body pressed onto me

As your head begins to clear,
Come face to face with what you fear 
And watch as it
Evaporates.
Disperse into the atmosphere
