I am daughter to Eve, Goddess,
Father, Sun, Sky, and Earth.
I am kin to animal, bird, snake,
fish arching into beautiful big sky.
I am reflection of moon, stars,
comets, planets and circling overhead
like a lullaby nightlight.
My bowl belly is related
to lake, ponds, rivers, oceans.
My arms are branches of One tree,
my legs are roots that hold lightly to soil,
my body is redwood boled trunk
with beloved names carved in bark.
I am daughter of God, and God is in me
as I am breath of his breath and heart of his heart.
I am love and anger. I am sorrow and joy.
I am.
I am!

I really enjoyed this piece. My favorite lines are "I am daughter of God, and God is in me/as I am breath of his breath and heart of his heart"
Nice reading rhythm, enjoyed your phrase "lullaby nightlight". Strong conclusion with the repeats of I am!
Congratulations on your well-earned trophy!

"My arms are branches of One tree,

my body is redwood boled trunk
with beloved names carved in bark."
Rene Descartes could learn a thing or two from you, my Sister.
