i flow, rooted in the soil of my own heart
“I am rooted, but I flow.”
~ Virginia Woolf
i am
daughter of river, sea and wind
every drop of my soul
held in the waters of life
i grow
roots deep in the earth
arms reaching high in the sky
planting seeds in other hearts
i flow
gracefully
rooted in the soil
of my own purpose
and becoming
i feel
my swaying body
in the hands of winds
whispering change
sweeping away
the insides of my core
with tender love
i sense
a certain softness
in the air
a sacred opening
in the workings
winds
rustling my wings
ruffling my feathers
i listen
to the beautiful sound
of waves
shifting my edges
in swirling motions
i dwell
in that luminous space
bright with movement
a gentle breeze
getting me ready
for flight
whispering
let me in
I’ll take you there.
