Twenty years ago just before I came into being, I was gifted With an extraordinary woman A herculean Ghanaian shero Born and raised in the fruitful Southern side of the country Not much of a believer yet One could not miss the aura Of confidence from her self- Belief, the traditional values She stood for and against Her four peculiar brothers Spread a certain fear through Her suitors, offenders, mates Doted specially by her father The Joseph among the many She danced to the drums of The passage rites, barefoot Beaded waist shaking to the rhythm. Earth embracing her Buoyant energy, her vibrations Sending four messengers to The four corners of the earth Prepare for her journey, her Pilgrimage, the long awakening For she comes from far, guided By the stars, bearing rare gifts More than frankincense, myrrh Or even gold. She comes bearing the light Of the future. @nsoul.poetry #Shero
