Birth

 

The fear of the pain,
all of the unknowns,
the enormous weight
of responsibility,
the shedding of one life,
never to be the same again.

 

The self-doubt,
the tension,
the physical pain,
the sleepless nights,
then...

 

The day of giving birth.

 

Death to one life,
grateful for how it's
brought me this far
terrified to let go,
free falling,
alone.

 

Yet not alone.

 

She 
is already there.
She 
has gone before me.
She 
is holding my hand,

 

reassuring me
that everything
will be all right,
that we ARE 
strong enough,
brave enough,
ready.

 

There IS light
before me.
Love will
guide the way.

 

 

 

All You Need

 

You will not starve, Beautiful Soul.
The abundance of nature and
the creativity of your heart will
provide all you need.

 

You will not lack love, Dear One.
For love calls to you, sings her songs
from clouds and stars and waterfalls
bursting from within you.

 

You will not run dry, My Love, 
of music, of dance,
of play and creativity.
It lives within your soul.  

Fight for Her

 

The time will come, 
my dear, 
when you will no longer 
live in fear,

when you will
wake up with the sun,
and breathe in 
the fresh air

and know that
the new day
is yours to shape
and mold.

You will feel safe
to your core.
You will know
that you are loved.

No one
will ever take away
your worth, your voice,
your light. 

Now is not the time
for meekness, 
sadness, 
grief or fear.

Now, you must 
dig deep within
and find the strength
to fight!

Fight for her 
who lives within,
whose voice needs
to be heard.

Fight for your children
who'll watch and learn
and see their mother
be brave.

Fight for your future
that shines so bright,
it is now 
within your reach.

I've got you, babe.

Alone

You are never alone.

From before your birth,
you have belonged
to the family of stars,
to light, to beauty,
to love.

Throughout your life
the wind has been
your guide, reminding you
what it feels like
to be alive.

The sun has 
shown you the way
out of the darkness,
offering you warmth and light,
giving you the chance to grow.

The forest has breathed
life into your lungs,
a connection to all living things,
inviting you into adventure
and a haven to be yourself.

And Mother Moon
has been ever watchful, 
teaching you the ebb and flow of life
lighting up your darkest nights,
returning you home to yourself.


 

The One

 

I will be The One 
who moves
in graceful flow 
like water

 

I will be The One
who heals
the mother
and the daughter.

 

I will speak 
the truth 
once hidden
that we all are free

 

that no fear
shall bind our minds,
our hearts 
are free to be.

Walking on Air

 And how can I fear

the leap into the darkness?

Have I not 

been here before?

Is it not I who craves
adventure and freedom,
takes risks and is 
brave to the core?

Is it not I who stands fierce
in the midst of the storm,
alive with the 
wind in my hair?

 When all falls away,
what's left is raw strength. 
And I'll find I am 
walking on air. 

My Own Rules

 

 

 

When the world says,
'They hurt me.
I'm angry, let's fight!'

 

I say, 'There's love
to be found,
there's light.'

 

When the world says,
'There's too much pain
and everything's broken',

I say 'all can be healed
with kindness and
words of love spoken'.

 

When they say,
'I'm ugly and
dark to the bone',

 

I say
'I see your beauty.
You're never alone.'
