By Kenya Dockens
Yesterday I cried
I allowed myself to release
for a moment to be free
of all the thoughts imprisoned inside and against me
I let myself breathe
I blew off the steam like a pot of tea’s
loud burst of heat releasing pressure
I unlocked the key
And with a single step
ended the great depression
Yesterday I cried
Streams of guilt, shame, disappointment, and rejection
masking the truth of my mirror reflection
Owning my fears with no doubt or question
Feeling what I feel with no objection.
Every tear is freeing
Uncovering Seeds of fear buried in the soil of my spirit
I find hidden fears Manifested like weeds in my being
Growing the needs of redemption
Yesterday I cried with intention
No longer a victim
I surrender to this place of Divine intervention
No longer stuck
Peace between the perception of broken pieces
I’m waking up
And in this place I am free
Whole and complete
Like a drop of water in the ocean
The spirit of God surrounds and moves through me
I sow seeds of love and attract like energy
Today I am breathing and yesterday ceases
I know that God is all there is
And I am the son
You are love
And We are one
As we grow in grace
I declare greatness for you
And I am so grateful to be here in the place with you
The poem was written and recited by a Foundations classmate, Kenya Dockens, at Bodhi Spiritual Center in Chicago. I was moved by the sheer quantity and variety of talent in our class. I will post other pieces over the next few weeks.
Soar love, we’re not born to drown.
