STREAMING TO LIBERATION'S SHORES...

CATEGORY

Here I am—threading the waters of life

in deep contemplation—pondering

My next stroke in swimming toward

The waiting shores of liberation:-

 

While much has been overcome

There still remains much more 

To overcome in life’s roaring waters

If one is to remain afloat in its waves:-

 

Despite the Burmuda-Triangle-like 

Waters that remain to be conquered,

The shell-like holes of my ears are filled

With streaming echoes of the flowing words:

 

Ain’t gonna let nothing Lordy, turn me’round…

Turn me’round…turn me’round…

Ain’t gonna let nothing Lordy, turn me’round

Turn me’round…turn me’round…

 

Gonna keep on’a 

Stroking Lordy…Keeping on’a

Swimming Lordy…streaming

To freedom’s shores…

 

In the turbulent waters of today’s sea of life

There are no oppressive bordering reefs

That this Middle Passage child cannot

Whale-snorkel through at this time

 

Indeed, with heavenly hydrated hope

And breastplate faith, I’m now breaststroking

And freestyling waves of God to freedom’s shores

To froth upon the crystal sands of time of my liberation:-
