Circle (Gratitude Poem #6)

Family!
Vanessa Jackson is a person who shapes herself into sunshine, sweetening her purpose by creatively contributing to everything she believes in. I have benefited from Vanessa's belief in abundance enough to know that while many people give gifts, Vanessa at this stage, IS a gift to our community and our ancestors. I am so grateful to be living in a world that Vanessa claims as sacred! Today celebrating the launch of Vanessa's Full Circle: A Woman's Return to HerSelf program, I offer this poem.

For any of you other glorious gifts out there looking to sweeten purpose into love by supporting my journey to visit Gloria Joseph and commune with Audre Lorde and getting your own dedicated poem...join the love circle here: http://alexispauline.chipin.com/praise-the-lorde-st-croix-dream-trip


Circle


For Vanessa Jackson’s Return to HerSelf


After Audre Lorde’s “Construction”


sky rebirth sound

wake you up walk

face full with signs


sign for sistering

stand forever

sign for seeing


full days fertile

silence reborn

into sound


the sky

of your sweet soul

listens


signposts to heal

soothseek

spirit as salve


so


sky sounds like you

waking walking

healing holding

life as loving


and then doing it again


therefore


if we build our present

out of gifts like you


truth resounds

forever.
