Rosary

This one goes out to my ladies, near and far. Now I'm grinning, because in my head, I sounded like Barry White when I typed that. 

I gather you in, your strength, your positive thoughts and vibes - you. I think these days roll by and we hurry and scurry, and I think maybe I forget to tell you I care. Then I read a bit of a writing by someone like Rachel Lewis, and it burns me with its direct beauty.

I count you on my fingers

One digit for each

You are my soul sisters

and I am saying lucky

with each name I recite

lucky lucky lucky

Lucky we found each other

lucky lucky lucky

Lucky our hearts knit

I breathe your name

I call up your essence in my head

In times of need

You are comfort, you are calm

On days of challenge

You are rage, you’ve got my back

Like saints I whisper you into being

Conjure you with a memory

You are my rosary

My consolation in days of dread

Blood’s got nothin’ on soul
