woman wearing a crown

Kings and Queens

ByAlena Orrison

By Jan Muse

I am darkness, I am light.
I am grounded, I take flight.
I am the hottest summer day,
And the coldest winter night.

I am the deepest of Oceans,
The highest of stars.
I’m a little bit Venus,
And a little bit Mars.

I’ve been a leader,
I’ve been led.
I’ve been starving,
I’ve been fed.

I’ve been shallow,
I’ve dived deep.
I’m Awake,
But I still love sleep.

I’ve lived on the streets,
I’ve slept in a bed.
I’ve been stone-cold sober,
And way out of my head.

I’ve lost count of the times,
That I’ve almost died.
And counted my blessings,
Each time I’ve survived.

I’ve been loved, I’ve been hated.
I’ve been a saint, and X-rated.
I’m a mother, a grandma, a sister, a wife.
I’ve been a loser and a winner.

I’m pro-choice and pro-life.
I’ve stood up for freedom,
I’ve sat down for peace.
I’ve rocked against racism, been beaten by police.

And it’s all within me,
And it’s within you.
If we open our hearts,
We will find Common Truths.

We all have our stories,
We all have our song.
We all need each other,
For us to move on.

It’s not black or white,
It’s not that or this.
It’s above us, below us,
Between and betwixt.

The Air that we breathe,
The Earth under feet.
The Fires in our bellies,
The Waters so deep.

So, let’s unite people,
Love and support one another.
Stop judging and dividing,
Let’s work with our Mother.

We are Earth-keepers,
We chose to be here.
Hold on to your hearts,
And release all your fears.

Let’s hold each other up,
Let’s all dare to dream.
After all brothers and Sisters,
We are all Kings and Queens.

    Acorn by Rhosyn Gwyn I once lived amidst the clouds in lofty limbs that held me close. I touched the sky without waxen wings. But I, too, have plummeted fallen and disgraced.

    Into the Darkness by TB Kelley In the darkness I seek, I seek for the hidden knowledge, hidden deep within the dark of my mind. The space holds all that is powerful, all that is mysterious. The darkness with in is where I go. Spirits of the ancients fill my soul, their remnants of life…
