musings from my temple to yours

part 1

as my temple 

resurrects

i am shown the design

the “god-by-design”

shape of me 

shape of my destiny 


rubies and garnet dance in my watermelon womb

sapphires–agate at the nape of my neck


new old symbols magnetize themselves to me

dogs deposit gold and silver coins on my lap 

in my dreamtime


the divine mother 

the intelligence has been waiting for me 


i live, thrive, build my life off of my inheritance 

off of what god has labeled: me


my yellow honey hands pick and choose 

which freequency

i believe 


purple fingertips land on 103.33 providing me with all the 

Ascended Masters hits


she speaks to me in my own rhythm and time 

never secretly 

look look how beautiful it is to be me

fathom


and suddenly 

the atlantic erupted

becky was osun

obatala: your tall smooth friend

you: oya

your speakers push air and our 

regrets/worries 

fade.


you: the only one who will ever know what you went through in these crates to get to us

throwing the beats and the rhythms of bpm 

in the earthly realm


but in spirit,

oh in spirit you were the lord working

you were the milk and the honey

love, the law, cascading sound 


in reality you were opening the windows of heaven moving through the mountains and valleys of vinyl


ritual keeper

beat master teacher

the conjurer

the cypher

rhythm medicine keeper


unlocking the best parts of us

ancient 

thump thump 

of our precious extraordinary hearts


the wind

the ghosts 

the whispers

and faded outlines of our dance moves

of our hips swirling, arms laughing, fingers snapping

they vibrate in that lobby now- sound


became 

offerings to the ones before us 

who loved 

the rhythms and the blues as we do. 


thank you record keeper, beat matcher, way shower

thank you and we bow to you!
