Ancestor led me to the water today
to spaces where clear currents
meet aged stones covered in moss.

Ancestor led me to the water today
and a daughter of Osun 
left crinkled rose petals by my feet.

Ancestor asked me to let go of fear today,
to stop waiting for confirmation
my third eye was open, wide as ever;
showing me the strength in surrender
and the immortality in my blood.

Ancestor quenched my thirst with ripples
of sacred geometry upon golden river foam,
when you rise up, know that you have risen.
go be with the water, Yemoja instructs her children.
