The Seventh Daughter ~ #poetry by @Tashtoo
The legacy has been revealed
a homage to ancestors never to be forgotten
as the seventh daughter
of the seventh son
rises.
Curse or blessing
the veil has lifted
no more mystery to the passing down
simple bloodline
second sight
Prophecy is dream state
in a world without ears to hear
History rewritten
to be retold
resold
like the snake oil that poisons your soul
and the seventh daughter
of the seventh son
rises
These tools you base your truth upon
offensive as they are
will only plague your spirit
Dogma laid down over generations
despite the free will you claim
Think for yourself
as the magick instructs
evolution is a holy state
when embraced
challenge your mind
Do not rely on the prejudices of your ancestors
to direct your path
these invisible borders
that separate you from your world
and the seventh daughter
of the seventh son
rises
Do not rely upon the science of the money lenders
to determine your worth
Do not rely upon the diagnosis of one who seeks to profit
off the illness of his family
Do not kill a brother based upon the speech
of one who refuses to reveal truth in motive.
and the seventh daughter
of the seventh son
rises
the last generation
the wisdom of the witch
do what ye will
but harm none...
and the seventh daughter
of the seventh son
rises
It's my turn to prep the pub for OpenLinkNight over at dVersePoets. It's been a rather hectic start to the new year...dented fenders, computer issues, lots of fun stuff to keep me on my toes...and nothing better than a January morning at -27 to get your pen in gear! Now I'm off to polish some glasses! See you at the pub...going live at 3pmEST

that is chock full of goodness...and the money lenders later...the prejudices of our ancestors...smiles...oh if only we held to the prophecy you spin....smiles...
"Prophecy is dream state

"evolution is a holy state
when embraced"
are fabulous.
I really loved the tone of this throughout.

Also, loved the lines about dogma and free will. I'm buying you a drink tonight - even after Happy Hour - money is no object (to be respected)-- Seriously, loved this quite a bit,
Mosk, the second son of the second daughter
AMAZING WRITE.

I like this. I like it all, but these eleven words are sinuous.
Damn.

Love that! I sat in a pew for years trying to fit into the definition a dogma said I must be. My spirit suffered and it actually squelched my faith. I love as always to stop by and see what wisdom you have for me. :=

So many layers and ways to interpret
"evolution is a holy state
when embraced
challenge your mind"
and the repetition of the seventh daughter of the seventh son rising.
Hypnotic!

These are my favorite lines, Natasha, and the cure to dogmatism and intolerance. Nice job. Don't visit back...no post for me tonight.

The magical stance is buoyant and mystical. It gets the imagery covering lots of grounds. Nicely Tash!

Gave my tail a back and forth run
As plenty of 7's came due
Repeating adding that much more to the innuendo poke at by you
Love this line:
do what ye will
but harm none...
Thanks for hosting!
to direct your path
these invisible borders

Good, strong, mystical and reality check poem.

"the last generation

And I love your repeated lines; they're my favorites.

Powerful with the strength of prophesy to uphold already powerful truths. Excellent
