Upon seeing a white bird
of an unknown species
outside my bedroom window.
I wanted to write
these words
earlier in the day.
Instead
I allowed myself time
to feel - to cry & self reflect.
Following a moment
I will forever remember - evaporated
into my mind
creating a cherished memory.
Depending on the region in which one resides,
specific holidays are advertised by various sources in advance.
Alerting the masses to remember the date.
Yesterday
May 10, 2020
was mother's day in the United States.
A time
set aside for children
to honor their mother's
As mother's are revered
for birthing them
into this world.
For many
this day is a joyous festivity
or an indication of the exact opposite.
Within aspects of living
human contentedness is essential
whether an occasion is deemed special or, just a regular Tuesday.
Upon rising the 10th of May, I knew a date on the calendar
Upon rising the 10th of May, I knew a date on the calendar
wouldn't negate or change collective abandonment
Displayed by others.
Which in hindsight served
as illuminating life
towards a different trajectory.
Seeing a change of feathers
Seeing a change of feathers
instead of familiarity
was symbolic for me.
Breathing reality into the acronym:
G.od
U.niverse
N.ature
As KRS One Stated:
Our People
Our People
Are Not Fighters
We Are Artists
We Are
The Truth
Itself
When I needed to hear
the aforementioned
most
the aforementioned
most
A 'weapon' of love
was placed within
the palm of my hand.
the palm of my hand.
Of Universal Guidance & Protection
Surrounded
At all
Times
Surrounded
At all
Times
In subtitle ways
Constantly reminding me
I am never alone

My Faith Rises Up
Even While Pulse Dropping
I Roll It On My Heart
I Roll It On My Heart
So It's Never
Forgotten
The Sun & The Moon
And
The Stars
All Been Watching
