"The prayer prayed where I was still sleeping in a chest of someone who didn't treasure me but you kept telling me to rise"

The only poet to ever move me to tears. She’s so relatable. Years later and I still sob.

Was I the only one that felt & cried when she said "you was the one that put the shoes on my feet and the gospel in my mouth I will not go without" I felt that in my soul 😩

I "strive" to be the writer that Alysia is, she leaves it ALL on the stage, for anyone to so eloquently and completely bare themselves is such a blessing, and although I've never heard of JP until today, this pairing was orchestrated by angels and was quite possibly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Love

I appreciate her not being too embarrassed to ask them to pray with her and the audience of respectful people who probably had varying religions that silently prayed along or respected her choice. Beautiful.

Never embarrassed to speak about/to God in a crowded space... That is beautiful!
@guelewaar79987 жыл бұрын
+jamahra412- It's because it's a crowd of intelligent people who understood that praying is not necessarily chanting psalms to invisible deities. Sometimes it's just sending good thoughts and wishing well to another human being; and the blessed bond that is established, if momentarily, with that person is of absolute power, that God them-self cannot deny! Very sweet of you to have picked up on that. Stay blessed!

She calls as she stands in the kitchen soaking a skillet and asks me to hand her the salt, fried eggs, biscuits and sage tea between us and our last fight and hunger settles like an easier kind of forgiveness, She swallows coffee the colour of my skin After first boiling the milk in a sky blue kettle till it weeps One afternoon she will find me naked in bed with a bourbon crying and solving crossword puzzles my ex would be getting married 30 miles away, tearing out my insides in front of a bouquet and a banquet of friends and distant relatives I’ll tell her mama i’m finished I’m famished I’m drooling from the aisles of my heart and she’ll brush my hair she’ll dress me without saying a word as if to say, baby, some boys is poison. But you you are the only diamond that I will ever wear. Mama, I’ve often considered you the fourth member of the trinity though you’ve never asked for any credit or any glory You gave me many titles for the insides of your palms, my backdoor into church on the days when I forgot the difference between steeple and scalpel. The prayer prayed where I was still sleeping in the chest of someone who didn’t treasure me but you kept telling me to rise. every morning reminder that even on days when the sun is sucking its teeth and the clouds are throwing shade you tell me where even on those occasions Your breast been my bible the back of your hand is my paddle bristle brush and snot rag mama you cut the crust off my white bread, cut your eyes when I was talking back, cut those boys for talking smack. Mama, I might be gods daughter and Jesus might save but I’m still the girl you named and the woman you raised and there is no one else to thank for that small victory 6 years ago, I was up to my ears in sand and self-doubt 5,000 miles away in a place where the sphinx and all her wisdom still won’t dare to be your mother And the pyramids are the only point of reference you sent me a text message. you said, That nothing matters but sacrificial love and that is still the hinge and throne of everything I believe in. So, when it finally comes that day and you’re taken home and I have to spill past your body in the church. Your hair cured lightening ripe No more sass just cold. There won’t be any hands strong enough to catch me but my faith will hold after all it was you who put the shoes on my feet and the gospel in my mouth. And I will not, I will not go without.

2021 Aug 1st is tmrw and I been crying my eyes out since 2am its now 5:54am. Im texting my mom, so hurt because I keep thinking i can't move on or let go. I wish I was as strong as my mom. Only thing is I'm 31 with 2 children - 6 and 13 needing me. But I'm here letting them down. I know I am God's child yet. I can do any and all things I put my mind to. But when im trying to do right and let go, become the woman- mother I know I am supposed to be I keep allowing my heart be broken and my body slowly but surely become weaker every hour I don't let this season of my life die and move on to the better that I constantly dream of. Sorry for this long post but I need prayers pls. God bless everyone!
