I am a Black Christian woman navigating life a day at a time. Here's to feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

Ankle deep

Knee deep

Waist deep

Overflowing…

 

Footsteps purposeful, steady

Rays of sunlight guiding me

Grains of sand massage my soles

Sapphire promise washing over my feet

 

Ankle deep

 

Eyes fixed upon endless expanse of sky

So beautiful. Blinding.

Calling me closer still, a dove in the distance

Azure enchantment swishing around my knees

 

Knee deep

 

Hands grasping, hungry

Onward in pursuit

Ocean air salty on my lips

Indigo faithfulness rippling about my waist

 

Waist deep

 

Only by faith, not by sight

Jesus’ light surrounding me

Weightless, fully protected

Midnight mercy engulfing my entirety

 

Overflowing

 

Joyful, peaceful, content and expectant

Thankful, loved, adored and respected

 

On my knees

Always put at ease

You receive my pleas

You’ve given me the keys…

 

To Your Kingdom

 

Ankle deep

Knee deep

Waist deep

Overflowing

I'm just a woman seeking to express herself freely without anyone's judgement and unwanted opinions. Just read and reflect. May my art be catharsis for you.
