Essence, Tones, Whispers, and Shouts is an anthology of poems.

Calling

The sun rises

Along with my soul

Pushing on my cells

To grow

To release this intuitive molecular message

That has no form

But its own

Unique as a raindrop

Abundant as the rainforest

Rich rooted in the soil of our universe

Metamorphosis of

Past lives, genders, names, languages, and locations

Tsunami gravitation pull

Of many many moons ago

Pushing this warrior message

With the urgency of right now

Right here

In the present moment

To manifest this ancestral calling

Divine light

Of love

Before sunset
