A Song For Lady Sovereignty Iii
here are the words, remember them, remember us, and we will remember you
lady sovereignty, hear me
help me to live honestly
guide me and my inner me
restore my feet and lead me
across clear and feathered fields
toward competence
creation, inspiration
independence with connection
so no longer will i float about
in the skin of a long lost fawn
who waits in silence to be rescued
by the ones who left me so easily and cold
i have tired of the chase which leaves me hungry
angry
wanting more of the real thing
help me to remember what is important
help me to lead myself in a good way
i will listen, wait, and prepare
fresh, wet wreaths for your arrival
so easily will you float into my lungs
clear me out and hatch me open
inside the nest of patient sovereignty
i will think by feeling
and i will listen to my thoughts
i will drift and ride inside your current
with an open mind and invitation
i will teach, learn, and recreate myself
each morning
that way my will
will never be destroyed
choked or forgotten
help me be the steaming light
that rushes from your strong
outspoken, ancient choral drum
i will memorize your sound
and listen deeply when you speak
you say your name means
that of self-acceptance
of self-awareness
inner guidance
ideas, peace, and family
well i will take these words
and crush them up
and with them
i will paint myself anew
i will walk clearly, honestly
with both palms turned up and free
to trust and work and live my life
for lady sovereignty
