You Have an Urgent Task Today

Today, allow yourself to change,

Throw those trousers away and commit

To something greater, pat down the earth

Above the body that held loathing

As if were a sacred mantra and commit

To lighter things, to love and unity,

To showing men, all men, the ones you date,

The ones you marry, fathers, brothers, sons,

That you are not bound to hold his fear

As you are your sisters’ outstretched hands,

His endless needs are not your work,

They are the creditors of certain debts he

Must pause alone to ever understand,

It is not your work to heal him with your skin.

You are life, you are union and power

Pulsing deeply through the universe.

Let the worms to her that didn’t know it,

To her who did not see her own, yet gifted glory,

To her that gave up the secret of her strength

To earn peace by people-pleasing, you have

An urgent task today – to love and nurture

Your unbound and sacred heart, then

Offer it back to where abundance rules.
