Thursday, September 5, 2024: Christal Ann Rice Cooper's " Eve’s Poem of Renewal"

 Eve’s Poem of Renewal


“I Know Everything”

As we walk in the morning dew

My Father activates something within me

lightning, visions, dreams

of Noah’s Rainbow, Abraham’s vision

of who Isaac was symbolizing,

Moses’s flame in the blooming bush


While the men work in the fields

I sculpt my children, grandchildren,

and great grandchildren

male and female

I sculpt them


At night as they lay in their beds

I tell stories to my children, grandchildren,

and great grandchildren

female and male

I tell them stories.


I teach my sons how to make baskets

and collect corn

I teach my daughters how to took for rainbows

and pour oil over heads


When no one is looking

I dance for Him

on my knees I face Him

my 70 x 7 Grandson

who calls me sister.


I am not like Thomas

I don’t need to look at His hands, feet or side

for proof.


I know it is His Him,

and finally, I know everything.
