Girl didn’t you know

Girl Didn't you know....

That dust was crystallized That clay was fine-grained  Your blood was red just like the dripping remission of our king  You girl are the beauty of the ashes  You had to have known.... Formed and voided by the blood wrenched betrayed pierced side of the man The undeniable reflection of Abigail Bathsheba Cozbi Delilah Eve Elisabeth Esther Judith Leah Mary Martha Naomi Sarah Rebekah Ruth Tamar Zipporah  Fearfully and wonderfully you have been made Track your mind to remember... Every Goliath defeated  Jericho walls shaken at the mention of your name There were No plagues, issues of blood, or inequity that was sent that didn't have to flee Your greatest fear has always been fear itself for God wrote those plans in the sands of time We all know.... You are the perfect verse over each and every melodic beat The wet ink stroking slowly across the blank poetic page It's the funk in your left thigh and the blues in your right Your ingenious brilliance is the envious spark of their hatred  The span of your hips and the curl of your lips woman, you are, phenomenally The world knows.... Privilege bigoted systematic traps that were set to kill your black brothers slipped through the seams  But Your whimsical whispers to heaven carried your peace  Gender norm who? Don't speak too loud where? Fists high, you were the  Reframing redefining reconstructing grace that demolished every oppressive bomb with your mind of mass destruction Feminist everywhere  know... That bridge called your back led a lineage to freedom  You are a sojourner, the gleaming light at the end of a liberating death tunnel  You are soil of vulnerable Intimacy stroking the ego of the man  You are the Safety that shielded and affirmed the destiny of each seed your eggs harvested for you to nurture alone  The reminder that we matter because we've made it by faith and faith alone  And it is so...  The fruit of your lips fed souls and satisfied every tongue of generational curses Critically speaking every ounce of your truth belittled the ignorance of silence  There was never a wait for validation to acknowledge the power of your existence  Proverbs knows.... Your fear is stedfast and unmovable in the Lord Your price above rubies  Every strain of your fruitful hand feels the sacrifice of your provisions  You are strength you are honor you are wisdom you are beauty you are a queen Virtuously  The word knows... Every encounter was intentional at the foot steps of Christ Your alabaster box overflowed, your tears washed the impurity of the heart clean, and your coarse hair dried the shame The heavens rejoice in knowing.... There is a method to your madness Testimonies from your test Your misery yielded your ministry Favor became the hide and seek of failure  Your grace is the resilient fire of Gods mercy  Every ounce of weakness is the fullness of His strength  His stripes are the healer of every wound  No weapon formed against you will ever prosper You are the victory that He turned from the spiraling path of unbelief...  Now tell me you didn't know!
