30 Day Poetry Challenge: Day 6: POWERED
Day 6: Powered
From Tuning the Human Biofield by Eileen Day McKusick
The talk these days has been sustainable energy
wind powered
ocean powered
sun powered
cars that glid between electicty and the black blood of
dinosaurs
and the people of Seattle slog along
drenched in 5 months of gloom
You would think by this time
we would find a way to harness the rain
soak it into our cells and create a fission
under our skin
become electric ourselves
meet strangers eyes with wide smiles
extend our hearts farther than our wallets for a rainbow
drink
I've been practicing an ancient alchemy
passed down from mother to daughter
turning heartbreak into love
tears become an elixir of release
I am not shamed
I am not shamed
I am not shamed
My anger, ghost pepper hot and molten lava red
fuels my need for growth and change
I am not shamed
I am not shamed
I am power
