Tell me my friends
Do you dream in colours of dark mattered grim
Those black holes of oblivion
That make you weep blood on crowns of sacrifice and sins
Where prayers are pinned on fingers being crossed
Hoping for your wishes to come true
But all of them seem to be lost
On trains, computer screens and bills due..
I have seen these places
I've been down crevices where daylight has no break
Where I run through gauntlets
And find only dungeons and dread
But like Churchill said "if you are going through hell, keep going"
So I keep running
Like chariots of fire that burn through good and bad
For karma doesn't judge
It moves without bias through transient fads
That keep us sedated in habitual thoughts laden with addictive behaviours
And desires born from men who want us divided
Tell me my friends do you dream in colours of sapphire suns and diamonds
Those prisms of stardust and stargazing stargates
That Illuminate your infinite
Particles of light that spark your divine inner lio
Roaring rays, that sustain your Mt Zion
That keep you centred in the gravity of your genius
That frees you from this society’s conditioning
That keeps you manifesting your dreams into reality
That kind of day
No longer deferred like a raisin in the sun kind of day
Living free and at one with the land kind of day
Living those once upon a real life time stories of Dr Martin Luther Kings and Queens kind of day
That keeps you composing like Rumi and Vivaldi
Keep you freedom fighting like Rosa Parks, Madiba and Gandhi
Keep you discovering like Curie, Tesla and Da Vinci
Living a life worth remembering like Joan of Arc, Buddha and Bruce Lee
Living a life like its golden, that Jill Scott alchemy
That goosebump goodness
That soul searching
Hard hitting
Street hustling
Goodwill hunting
That never giving up blueprinting
I am in this place and all its realness
Holding this space like a warrior
A tempest triggering
Trident bearing guardian
Keeping it always blazing son
Keeping it always game changing son
A soul shaking diamond phoenix who rises like Maya Angelou
See I am no longer scared to confront my soul with my deepest flaws…
To unravel my heart at its very seams
So that only love and peace float in the spaces
I have found a resilient home within the confines of my ego, limitations and fear
My inner battles, and invasions
Here I have found the magic of daring exploration
That tough love inquisitions
Surrendering everything for a greater awareness
Connecting my soul back to the universe
Its verses of liberation
I am living in the undeniable verve of my being
No longer saying yes to things or people,
When inside I’m saying no to me.
No longer will I be that weak
Will I be afraid to be me
To be my magnificent
A conscious spiritual being
Tell me my friends, tell me about your dreams...
