My Celebration

I walk with wide hips
Because that is where I came from.

I move like the River because
That is where I grew strong.

I get my secrets from the ocean because
That is where I travel.

I let my hair grow long
So my roots grow back into the Earth.

I wear bright colors because
The butterflies showed me how.

I shine like the sun because
She is my Leo goddess.

My skin is brown like Earth because
That is what covers me while I dream.

I sparkle with dangling jewelry
So I can dance with the gypsies.

I walk with barefeet because
I have nothing to hide.

I watch with wide eyes because
Owl whispered in the night how much there is to see.

I sing as I bathe
So that whale can hear my memories.

I remember to look up because
The stars like to be noticed.

I am. What I am.
Because of these gifts.
I celebrate each day
How it all has come. To be.
