Reclaiming My Wholeness

Grounded in my power,

I am coming to reclaim my wholeness.

I work and weave with the energies of light and life

I sing with the birds and speak with the trees,

I sail with the winds and merge with the seas.

My heart cracks open with the pains of this earth

and I light my light to bring healing and a sense of rebirth.

My ways are winding, unbound and wild

as I follow the footsteps of the voice inside

I don't listen to rulers, my intuition is my guide

grounded in my power I stand with pride.

You tell me I'm delusional, a dreamer and my reality can't be -

I tell you – sorry not sorry – it's just a glimpse of being me.

I have come to reclaim my wholeness, no longer willing to push aside,

throw out or bury the sacredness of my life

It still feels quite tender, so new, so unknown,

the piece that now fills from where previously my energy had gone.

No longer in pieces or ridden with holes, I am beginning to feel

how ancient presence and wholeness unfolds

My feet deeply rooted, my hands on my heart,

I am rising from the mud, willing to start

an exploration of what it now means to be me

now that I am reclaiming my power, allowing you to see

the whole me, the one wading through chaos to fish out the good

the one willing to face the powers that be and let her heart speak, her light shine, finally free

the healing one, all tender and raw, no longer fitting into the stories of before.

From Jaguar to condor, my soul roams the land

while I join my brothers and sisters hand-in-hand

bravely, I am rising from hiding to shining bright,

no longer invisible

from darkness to eternal light.

I can hold the plurality, I don't subscribe to black and white

your restrictions don't interest me, I come to heal the divides.
