She danced as the twilight dimmed
to midnight. The colors saturated the
room like a fire erupting. The
crocodile roared as he sunk deep
into the open water. Tranquilize the
spirits of the awakened and evoke
the spirit of the dead. She chanted
by the river, calling for peace, love,
and affection. Her voice echoed with
vibration while the souls of the earth
listened attentively. Tonight is the
night that all her wishes will be
granted. She has been coming to the
river for 365 days and never missed
a day. She cried, danced, prayed,
chanted, and traveled far and wide.
She wore all red while praising the
mystical legends. This was the first
moment in her life that her ancestors
honored her. The trees rattled, while
animals seething while she
spoke in tongues and whispered of
all the things that had occurred to
her loved ones. We need to be
saved, we need to become humane,
we need to be loved, we need to be
valued, and we need to hold on to
our heritage; we need to have a
community. This beautiful luscious
land is filled with so many
possibilities.
