A Spiritual Pilgrimage (Purple Candle)
Close your eyes and slowly inhale the touch of the wind
It speaks of old Negro tales the ear refuses to lend
Sacred whispers of the Middle passage as ships on troubled waters braved
Christened by the dark depth as weary souls wade
Captives of past generations residing in cramped living quarters on a journey to a new frontier
Only to fall prey to savagery, more brutal than killing the buffalo and hunting the deer
Shh… can you hear the echoes give us freedom as it bemoans
Hope and prayers in the hymn of its unified songs
Listen carefully to the swaying of the trees
Can you feel the wraith of death funneling in the depth of the dark seas
That triangle trade governed by water the flow taken its retribution upon humanity's lands
God giveth, the rushing streams eradicating mementos back out to sea from the Hebrew man denied of their contributive hands
Sinking, drowning civilization in its wicked path
Tears in remembrance, bodies jettisoned over the ship in an internal bath
Unto the hands who altered the destiny of my existence, souls lost in a murky grave
I atone, for the steps now I must pave
Plantation weary bones that gave me the umbilical cord passed down to me
Tribes filled with the descendants of Kings and Queens
We didn’t need the American dream
Our beautiful hues bathed in the synergy of spiritual truth
Footsteps in union, love and honor sought in the intellectual pursuit
Our hands tilled the soil to bring to surface the kindred sentiments of our labor
In its abundance we shared and in the presence of barren land we never wavered
The strands of our hair, was the assure of our divine wealth
The spices in the sway of our hips, a softened comfort to a warrior's heart, he felt, made his eyes melt
Such beautiful language from the dialect of our tongues
Vast acreage to nurture stretched beyond the horizon of the sun
The universal was our stairs to the Heavens, the vows in our blood to be rebirthed absence of forlorn
Rare amulets upon our necks adorned
Giving unto the stars the loins to be fruitful and multiply of a male first born
Peace, harmony as we roamed among the beasts
Only taking in humbled blessing as we dined on their coats of honors as rotisserie flavored meat
Giving back to the planet with seeds to sow in homage to their feast
We hunted by day, prayed for deliverance at night
Not suffering mental instability
Rewards given unto us soaring with reverence of our earthly flights

It is always a blessing to me when any reader can see the vision through my eyes and can still, with respect conclude it is part of history that somewhere in time we have learned from, to strive better and to remain standing tall even stronger.
In addition, it is with merit to always give credence to one of Mother Nature’s elements and that is water, trust me, they do have their own tales that echo, and for you to take the time to read and then render an unbiased comment on my sacred scroll in regards to my incantation is priceless and it speaks of a great character of a man who has and who is evolving.
I softly bow to you in gratitude and much poetic admiration.
Please enjoy your Thursday evening and may your Friday be as encouraging and embracing to your presence.

The spirituality of this poem gives the candles flame a blood red hue to contrast its purple base wax.

What a beautiful collage of words, my wandering poet and it draws conclusion to the offering and what those colors and the energy each candle brings to Mother Nature.
Be advised a Purple candle mean
The color purple is associated with royalty, wealth, ambition, divinity, wisdom, healing, intuition, and psychic ability. It is believed that lighting a purple candle can help generate energy within your third eye and improve your psychic power. Purple candles are an excellent choice if you want to use them for your divine meditation practice, spiritual ceremony, or magic spell ritual
And a Red Candle Mean
Red candles are usually used in spiritual activities with the intent to evoke lust, promote sexuality, induce passion, and generate power. Candles of this color can also symbolize courage, beauty, or danger and are effective at attracting wealth and prosperity. Because of their vibrant colors, red candles are popularly used when a person needs to lift his mood or brighten up the surroundings. The element of fire has a strong connection with red candles.
Thank you for reading and commenting on my musing my wandering poet, and please enjoy the remainder of your night and may Friday be uplifting to you.

My poet and will try to reach the enlightenment of your comment. You are a Spoken Lyric Poet, meaning your sacred messages when on that mic must populate mental insights to your audience where your mission for each mind is to feel your spoken words or art, allowing your listeners to inhale and exhale the vibe of your flow,
And I am quite sure, when you are in the groove of your expressions, under no circumstances time becomes the factor it is the benefit.
On that affirmation, why would you think I would lessen the poetic creed of my poetic words when uprising my culture in the form of my sacred incantations.
Reach one teach one, my love, and that will be done from my mind, and my inscriptions by any means necessary and thank goodness I have, had the pleasure with some moreso, then none.
I hope I have confirmed my stance and with humbleness, now smile for me as I wish you a splendid evening and a safe and uplifting Friday in all you may seek. 🙏
