Go Now This Is Your Time

I awoke from years of
unconsciousness and
unfolding like a butterfly
from a cocoon
I cried many days and
nights-
days I cried
days I prayed
days I waited
for instruction
for the still voice
within my soul
saying Go now this
is your time
I looked back, though not
for long, on the many
teachers I have met
and the lessons they have
taught me
on my path
They were teachers of a
teaching profession
they were brothers, soul friends
angels and healers
and there were some scholars
and some were writers and
other artists I admired
from afar
all saying go ahead and do
that thing you do, walk with
your head up and never be
ashamed of who you are
And even to get ahead
I had to be a child again
tasting child tears and
fighting child fears as
there was divine guidance
before me watching me
stumble then stand
And as my ego fell away
I humbled myself, all the
while giving praise and thanks
for my destiny and the
many blessings felt
along the way
I saw tangible things fall
away from me making
way for the more profound
and the Word wrapping
new power around me,
renewing my woman self
from past pain
I am a warrior-woman-child
dancing my path before God
sharing my presence and
inner visions felt with those
who cross my path
My pen as my warrior
healing sword, telling me
Go now this is your time
And to that, I say Amen
and Ashe
