Four of Wands
Umoja
by Zelda Knight
our sanctuary / once hidden
no longer obscured
by twilight riders
cloaked in fire
evoking
hollow delusions
shedding your temporal body
unleashes charismatic ecstasy.
replenished faith negates
melancholic anonymity.
moonlit dancers’
seismic steps
and ritualistic rhythms
summon euphoric trances
impregnating carnelian soil
with the beating heart of jubilant renewal.
do you long for rejuvenation
while fearing chronometric decay?
one soul encased in two beings
reborn in you awaits
