Two waves collide
and merge
There is stillness
The surface of the sea
a painted portal
into the depths
of my soul
soul
Master
I am radiant and full
In the reflection
Of your effulgence
I am purified
As you pour your light
Into my soul
Please
Stay in my heart
Rebirth
When I offered myself to you
you embraced me like a child
and comforted me
Cleanse me
I cried
and you cleansed me
I died in your arms
and you buried me
You breathed life into my soul
You let me be reborn
renewed in the spirit
whole, pure, alive in you
Dance of the Garifuna women
Garifuna
the indigenous women of Belize
strong
determined women
inspire me
to dance
with my feet and soul
planted to the earth
my hips swaying
in the joy of life
celebrating the triumph
of resistance
to our enslavement
