Echos from the past

Call onto my vision for the future

I’m on a blue mountain can’t you fucking tell! I had to work through my chakras and rise to see all that surrounded me. These visions are so unwavering. I had visions of myself on top of this mountain in Haiti and I remember how young I was, overseeing confidently in wonder. These visions were a catalyst for this collection. I was reminded that as a child I was climbing many mountains so confidently and as an adult, I climbed this blue mountain for a long time.

Sparks of light always found their way to me. I often asked my close friends if they saw it too. I was convinced that I was hallucinating.

Once my throat chakra got unblocked these sparks of light turned into sparks of color. All of these colors harmonized for me as I said my name and remembered who I am.

I am I. I’ve been reborn and I weave colors through my poetry form. My visions took me through all my chakras and indicated what needed healing. The truth is although I was climbing, I was dying. A piece of me disintegrated with the wind as I climbed through all the hurdles in my mind, in my soul. When I got to the top of this blue mountain I was left with love and hope. The love I have for humanity wouldn’t let me leave it at the bottom of the mountain. The hope I had turned me blue until I reminded myself what to do. I reached the top through love, hope and the will to rise above the madness.

“Haitian translations, trauma diving deep, trauma telling me to take a seat. How can I when I must climb to see, how can I when I must climb to be me. I climb and climb hoping others will see I’m on a blue mountain due to history so I shout it to the heavens, I will shout it through my art.” - Isaihrine Bosse
