Soul Chronicles: Intimate Expressions, Part IV
These poems below are what words that are connecting within me as life itself unfolds this year of 2025. They’re raw, real, deep, and go to the core of who I have been and who I am becoming.
Powerful Woman
You can try to burn me,
But know that I am invincible.
I bow to no one,
Not even a king.
I am the powerful divine feminine rising,
Coming from a bloodline of witches,
Whom you chose to hang.
Scared of our power,
Intimidated by our wisdom,
You brought us one by one to the stake,
Little did you know,
That even when you bent us, burned us, and killed us,
In the end,
We will never break.
The roar of the woman echoes throughout history.
She is my mother, my grandmother,
My sister, and my daughter.
That powerful woman,
She is me.
A divine goddess,
Abundant creator,
Unbound, limitless, and free.
We are the flames you couldn’t smother,
The voices you could not silence,
The legacy of every woman who refused to bow.
And we will continue to rise together,
Unstopppable, uncontainable,
Our time is here,
Our time is now.

Spectrum
Some say it’s all a matter of perspective.
Perhaps it’s a matter of perception.
Maybe we all just see the world in a variety of colors within the good ol’ spectrum that we call life.
