/

i flow, rooted in the soil of my own heart

By: Marjory Mejia

“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.
