Rediscovered

The birth of new love in a new relationship! Two people realizing that they've been through similar traumas in life and dramas in love and though it may have taken a while, they found each other, and now they are starting to find themselves.

We were rediscovered.
Both from pain we have recovered.
Both from shames we have uncovered.
Both believed to be beloved
by a fool who belonged to another-
by a fool who made us an ‘other’,
and made us believe that we
deserved nothing more.
For many moons our spirits
were sacrificed for
a falsehood we made true.
Then naturally, and out of the blue,
our lives were made new-
through you in I, and I in you.

Let me be your fluid.
The liquid nourishment that
gets you through it.
And pass that toxic parasite who did
nothing but rob your body and soul
of the nutrients it so
desperately lacked.
Shit that bitch slacked
off, then turned her back
and treated you as if you
could possibly be anything
less than divine-
So warm , sensitive, strong,
selfless, ooh…and kind.
And, can I tell you, so damn fine!
As if you were a foul scent in the air,
rather than a sweet and cooling,
breeze in the midst
of a tropical storm.
We have found our norm-
Our gentle bounce and balance,
our symmetry,
our stability,
our…..’meant to be.’
It wasn’t you and her, or him and me.

Because all that previous shit
is just called education,
and this here, is our graduation;
with truest honors and purest elevation
to a reggae like ‘higher level,’
of wholeness and totality-
of oneness with reality.
Baby we are real and it is
just too good.
So let us stay strong
and carry on-
Like in Fertile Ground,
Dear Lotus, blossom sound.

Just as our lives are made new,
through you in I, and I in you.
