In my soul, a child aches
In my heart she cries
The pain of the child echoes
Resonates through the tissue
Body memories surface
Pain, long buried, arises
Seeking solace and release
My arms cradle the child
Giving comfort and reassurance
I reparent my innocence
Making it all better
I am new, reborn
This time without parents
None other than my Creator
The Creator of all
She brings me forth in
pains of growth
Out of the darkness
Out of ignorance
My new eyes are delighted
Awed by the beauty that is
My soul absorbs it all
Gulping and guzzling it in
My heart swells with love
My soul with enlightenment
I am the being I am to be
Reborn as me...
A fairy perches
on a flowering branch
The dew twinkles
in the morning sun
Her wings flutter
awaiting flight
Pixie dust at the ready
Ready with the magic
A new day has begun
pregnant with possibilities
She dives into sun-kissed air
Into a future not yet known
Excited, scared, joyous
Who am I in your shadow
Cloaked in your accomplishments
Dwarfing my own
As a caterpillar struggles
To break free from its cocoon
I wiggle and squirm
Inching forward, slowly, deliberately
A toe at a time
With fingers to follow
Like a snake leaving behind its skin
I am birthed into the light
I look back wondering
Whose shadow and why
What appears amazes me
My ego stands sheepishly before me
No longer running the show
Welcoming Sun
The sun, strong and brilliant
Promising warmth and light
Illuminating the world
Nurturing all living creatures
Coaxing the flowers to bloom
and the trees to reach heavenward
Giving life to everything
I bask in its love
How do I stay me
How do I stay me?
The me that is a
Purple stone
In a sea of pink rocks
The me that is a
Triangle
In a sea of circles
The me that is a
Light
In a sea of darkness
How do I stay me?
