A vision arrives
In a what-the-fuck moment
Sitting, chatting girlfriends
“What is going on?” we ask.
Relationships struggling all around us
Puzzled with recent turmoil
In relationships long-standing
Suddenly affronting
Hidden truths revealed
No longer deniable
shadows emerging.
In the vision came
A mother - no wait - a woman
In sacred partnership
Nursing her man at her teet
Suckling self-worth,
Confidence and belonging
From her ample breast
A practice long-standing
From eons of supporting men
Into their highest
With the women hiding at home
Sustaining survival.
Purpose it gave us women
to lift our boys - er, men
Higher and higher
“You can do this
And I’ll carry you all the way
To the mountain peaks
Ghostwriting your confidence
As the world sees how
Great YOU are.
Good for you, honey,” she parrots back
While another petal of her soul
Withers and falls to
The barren ground of their
Imbalanced partnership
Void of feminine power.
And then the vision
The vision so clear
Of a time arriving
Where women around the world
Lighting up like bulbs
Coming online
to the truth that
no longer can they carry
And lift and hoist
and drag and haul
Their men to the heights
THEY themselves
are designed to trek
With their men
Hiking alongside them.
Boys - er, men’s - mouths
Latched tight
In a comfortable position
Long-standing bond
Silent contract made
For his woman to be his
Stand-in mother
Check the box here
Sign on the dotted line there
This is how we will be together.
“You enliven me,
I suck from you,
Til death do us part,
Amen.”
Not.
Any.
More.
You see, this vision
This vision showed a new way
Women lighting up
Ping, ping, ping,
South America and Europe
Africa and Asia
America, Antarctica and Australia
Ping, ping, ping, ping
Light goes on.
“Wait,” they say…
“This is no longer
the way, my love.”
Unlatched from their breast
they’re men fall
Pushed out of the nest
Learning to fly
into divine manhood
Once and for all.
The women spring giant wings
Instantly elevating into the skies
Levity becoming the new way
Freedom without burden
To be who they’re coached to be
Without the priority
of man above them.
“Now, my love,
your invitation
lies before you…
Rise with me,
meet me up here
The views are heavenly.
You’ve forgotten you have
Wings of your own.
Please, forgive me,
For defaulting to my wings
All this time.
This is my mistake and
I release you now
To fly wherever you desire.
Use your wings to
Build the empire
you say you want
To be the man you wrestle
Daily to become.
And in that journey,
Of your free will,
I hope you’ll join me
For our soul ascent into the sky.
I release you to choose.
Please Know, my love that I will no longer
Make it easy for you.
Journeying with me
Requires that YOU
Do the work
To become who God
Designed you to be.
I will not let you forget this
Ever, ever again.
Join me when you’re ready, my love.
And if you choose
To deny your wings
I release you fully
To choose what you choose
Without me there
to cushion your fall
From grace and
soul-aligned life here.
I release you
Because I love you
Enough
to let you do
your own work now.
I hope to meet you
in the sky.
