It’s springtime and I’m wearing rain boots.
I never put much thought into it, really
I’ve always been different
I’m like a Raider’s jersey
Shorts
And rain boots.
My hair big flying natural and free just like my soul these days
Just like my dreams
Just like the Holy Spirit working on my insides tearing down and restoring me
I’m wearing rain boots in the winter
I’m like ripped dreams, Che Gorilla shirt,
and my hair braided straight back focused and tight
just like my eyes
just like my steps,
just like my words only speaking when Jesus prompts.
I’m like rain boots in the summertime
Bright colored ethnic print halter top mini-dress
Hair locked up just like my fears
Just like my pass
Just like all insecurities.
I never put much thought into them
The rain boots, I mean
The prophet says I’m in expectations
Says I’ve been banging on Heaven’s door for years now, crying out
Says I’m expecting some big things
Says I’m prepared
I smile and nod my head in agreement
My steps in my rain boots are ordered and filled with
Expectation.
