Blood Ties & Battle Cries

Blood Ties & Battle Cries
By Tabitha Smith

My spirit connects genetically to the soil
upon which my Ancestor’s blood was spilled.

Its roots nourished by the tears
of too many Mothers
who had to relinquish their flesh
back to the Earth Mother
that birthed her people.

Seeds sown in sorrow
gives rise
to the most bountiful fruit.

The kind of gift our Grandmother’s prayed for
singing amongst clouds
in an interstellar nursery.

Not yet coalesced into particle
but somehow powerful enough
to permeate dimensions
calling out to all warriors
to rally the troops.

Whispers within dreams of water
my heart is washed anew.

The beat and battle cries
echo between mountains
never to fade
but reverberate
generations into eternity.
