Wise Blood
Tonya K. Freeman 2007

Flowing in and throughout
My body
My sacred blood no longer flows forth
From my womb
But cycles back around within this
Sacred vessel that I AM

This blood called wise
Speaks to me, through me
Always and forever as I live

Sacred wise blood
I hear you
Coursing through my body
I N as in Inpowering me
With every beat of my heart

My cycle, sacred cycle
It begins, it ends

I feel the flush in my face
My heat rises
Awakening the kundalini up my spine

I feel the flash in my face
My heat rises
Burning off those things that no longer serve me
Night sweats, my personal sweat lodge
Cleansing me
That I may attain my highest good

Heat rises up my spine
May I know that I AM Divine

Heat rises naturally
No practice, no teachings
It is just me

To share with you a little something
That you may or may not know
It is said that there are men
Who practice for years
That they might know
What we know as a cycle, the menopause cycle
A cycle of woman
A cycle of life

My kundalini rises up my spine
The rainbow serpent awakens
A power most divine

Shedding my skin
Renewing my soul
I awaken, I awaken and I behold

The beauty, the spirit and the power of my menopause
My pause from men meaning moon.

Note: I wrote this because it is necessary that women understand this most sacred time of life…in praise of menopause!
