I surrender

My love is quiet, discreet, doubting

Surrounded by harvests in abundance, full bellies, satisfied palates

Feeling the clarity of water hydrating my skin

Traveling, learning, engaging silently

It’s our souls connecting in peace, in love

Waging love

Yearning, envisioning love

The feeling of warmth in another person’s smile

When a child is nurtured and knows without a doubt that they are loved, deeply loved

The word matter is a spoken fact

When care is our currency, our medicine

Sheltered in warmth, affection, ease

That’s the love we’re waging, yearning

We fight for kindness, dignity, but it’s unnecessary

We already won

We are kind

We are nurtured

We are loved

Neglected, manipulated

Assigned like collateral, exploited for revenue

Analyzed as an expense category, shackled

Our souls soar

Freedom dance to music holding us captive

We soar into deep breathes, to peace, to rest, to rhythm in our soul

One timeline, one spirit

We are vibration

We are free, we create and live to live so we can give life, nurture one another

The beauty of the trees, the tiny flowers, the glory of the web beneath us

We are free

Waging love with enlightened eyes wide open with us

Love for each breath, for beautiful oceans, tides of luna and warmth of sol

Waging love is our journey to each other, our heart-work

Our purpose

Being distracted slows our progress, pushes the front line sideways

Brings comfort

Each time we wake, we wage love

As we sleep, we wage love

With knowing, with depth we wage love

The battle fought, the war already won

Destruction temporary

Life and love expansive, timeless, forever

I was moved to write this while reading Grievers by adrienne maree brown. Specifically, when Dune feels inspired by the energy of Mama Kama in the room. Many blessings and much appreciation to adrienne maree brown for daring us to imagine and recognize all the ways we love.
