As I Burn Sage Trees Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Jurina Smith, United States Jun 29, 2005
Peace & Conflict   Poetry

  

God what happens tomorrow? As I burn sage trees
Sick inside as the sage scent burns inside of me
Scared to breathe, scared to BE
‘Leave me alone,’ I cry, but her spirit tackles me
I picked a strange spirit that doesn’t want to leave me

God what happens tomorrow? As I burn sage trees
‘Leave me alone,’ I cry, but her Spirit tackles me
Scared to breathe, scared to BE
Her strange spirit rather I live a lie
Here it comes again to tackle me
Scared to breathe, scared to BE
No one there, no one here to protect me
Afraid to BE, afraid to BE

God what happens tomorrow? As I burn sage trees
Sage trees protect me I beg of thee
Scared to breathe, scared to BE, as I cling to sage trees
God protect me as I cling to sage trees
LET ME BREATHE LET ME BE give me tomorrow in thee
I’ve learnt the hard way from Strange Spirit
PLEASE GOD PROTECT ME—Bless me with the power of sage trees
Please God let me breathe—Please God let me BE
As I burn sage trees

My truths, the hurdles in my life’s path have landed me Here—a foreign space. But no matter what my…your background, ethnicity, culture or sexuality our hurts, our truths, the hurdles in our paths lands us Here—in foreign places such as people trying to control Your definition of Self: You—Your Spirit—and finally …You are free …I am free to Speak—Jurina Smith
