No one ever told me that I could believe that God was a woman
That I was created in her image
Wide hipped with hair dripped in emeralds and dipped in gold
My God is hues of illustrious brown and has an afro
She glistens…she is almost blinding
The light that illuminates from her is spellbinding
In her palms, the stars and moon are held
She exhales and breathes the universe
Sighs and humanity is birthed
She is a mystery with stories to be told
Chaos turns to cosmos in her control
Her laughter causes the earth to quake
With a swipe of her hand she creates
Mountains and valleys
Her tears brings forth rivers and oceans
She holds time in her bosom, sets it all into motion
She is
Feminine
Love
Righteousness
Justice
Peace
Strength
She is the me no one ever showed me
No one ever preached to me on Sunday mornings
She is
The Womb
The Gateway
The Beginning and the End
The Spring
The Well
The Life
She is Woman…
