Speaking visions
Of days to come
Almost a prayer
In the words
The language of “soon”
And “not yet”
The power of dreams
To be realized
Captivate the eyes
She speaks
In song and verse
And hidden meanings
So all may glimpse
Those visions
Of future
Shaping to come
Never credited
Disavowed
For knowledge and truth
Make women
Monstrous
In the today
Of denial
And dishonesty
Speaking visions
Of days to come
Though the world
Screams
For her silence
Speaking visions
A prophetess
Foretelling
The path ahead ~ Caroline A. Slee
