Some days trying to find myself is like trying to find keys in a snowstorm
\nI know She is there but I can\u2019t see her
\nThe motion, energy and debris flies around, obscuring vision, clarity, knowing<\/span><\/p>\n

In those moments that feel like days,
\nIn those days that feel like weeks,
\nI am lost but not lost
\nConfused but certain
\nThat if I could lift this veil
\nIf I could give back all that I did not ask for nor want<\/p>\n

The electricity in the air
\nYour confusion, fear, anger
\nThis perpetual state of unrest
\nThe United States of Unrest
\nThe violence and pain
\nThe hurt of blood stained lips that speak and we call this entertainment
\nThe drought of Everything:
\nPoverty
\nSoullessness
\nFalse programs, fabrications of ways of being not our own
\nThe defensive ego
\nJust trying to hold onto a shred of human dignity
\nThe diagnosis
\nThe fear, the fear
\nThe winds would calm
\nAnd you would see this flower trying to survive in nutrient poor soil
\nLoses her color, then eventually her self<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to be that
\nI want Her to thrive
\nI don\u2019t want to blame and hold you accountable for the chaos of this world
\nBecause you participate in it so easily
\nBecause it is your world, not mine
\nI refuse to make you the enemy of a kingdom that does not include me
\nThat does not recognize me
\nSee, there\u2019s nothing for me here
\nBlind ambition, greed and power
\nLeads to depletion
\nIt takes and takes
\nYou are not a Taker<\/p>\n

Yet
\nEvery time the scales swing towards you for days, weeks
\nEvery time the ground rises up to meet you then asks for more than it gives
\n(you\u2019ve worked so damn hard to play by their rules)
\nEvery time the easy way you do not notice the foundation I hold for you here
\nThe warm bed
\nThe fragrant meal
\nThe tender embrace
\nThe toothpaste you forgot to buy
\nThe flowers in the garden and all their color
\nThe way I process the relationship\u2019s emotions, hold a container for Us
\nThe way I make it easy for you to do what you do
\nTo claim awards, to provide, to sweat and earn
\nShe notices<\/p>\n

She has a choice to make
\nTo break away or come closer
\nShe comes closer, draws you in, to comfort herself
\nShe breaks away in under appreciation and emptiness
\nBoth end that way
\nThese are not good choices<\/p>\n

A third choice, the work of re-mineralization
\nBringing in the worms, magnesium, nitrogen
\nBringing in poetry, art, color
\nRefusing to live in a colorless world, a world without soul or eroticism
\nWithout the soft candlelight of a kiss
\nWithout the smell of lavender, the well oiled silk of skin
\nThe swish of leg on leg
\nThe joy of shoes and the perfect glass for drinking<\/p>\n

I am the landscape but I am not the landscape
\nI am not something pretty to be walked all over, instead of reverently walked upon
\nJust because I am silent does not mean I am quiet
\nLook me over but do not overlook me
\nYou are the King, my sovereign
\nI am your Dominion,
\nThe supremacy of something so sublime you cannot see if you do not see me<\/p>\n

If you do not…
\nTake time to smell my flowers
\nFeel the sand beneath your feet
\nPlay like birds in the wind
\nHonor my creatures
\nEat my good food
\nAccept my nourishment into your belly not as fuel but as Love
\n…that hand that feeds you becomes depleted
\nI will not turn away from you
\nBut I must rediscover myself<\/p>\n

She retreats when she is not invited in
\nShe waits when deadlines are placed
\nbefore her
\nEverything is more important than Her
\nNothing is more important than Her
\nYou wear her on your arm, the perfect companion
\nYou always get what you need \u201cSo what\u2019s the problem?\u201d you ask
\nShe goes silent
\nNothing
\nEverything<\/p>\n

This world we live in
\nProductivity over the perfection of a ripe summer\u2019s peach
\nWe make babies only to watch them starve
\nWe don\u2019t take care of our young, our old, our women.<\/p>\n

Her
\nPull me into you, make a womb of light of our love
\nMake all things possible again because I cannot see
\nI\u2019m in a snowstorm searching for my keys
\nI\u2019m being bombarded by a thousand things I did not ever want nor ask for
\nNone of this is mine
\nAll of this is mine,
\nNow<\/p>\n

Make this love a refuge for Her
\nPull me in tighter, closer
\nLet\u2019s see how deep we can bury our bulbs in the Earth
\nHow much bullshit we have to move to reach the juicy center
\nIs our taproot protected from the chaos of this world?
\nCan I trust you to do the right thing by Her?
\nIf I give you Everything will you choose tenderness?
\nOr will you succumb to the ways of your kingdom?
\nEgo fighting for control and domination, fear leading the way<\/p>\n

Dominion.
\nI am the alpha and the omega
\nI am the bringer of light and love and babies and music
\nI am the dancer and the dance, the brightening glance
\nThe inspiration
\nI am the tree of life. I give you life. I destroy life.
\nDon\u2019t tempt me
\nI am soft downy fur
\nI am the twinkling of lights in the rain and I am the rain
\nI am the landscape and I am your Everything<\/p>\n

Bow down to me. Notice me. Worship me.
\nThis isn\u2019t a contest, a battle for supremacy.
\nThis isn\u2019t a war
\nThis is my world. Erotic Lover. Electric Mother. Goddess Creator. Mother Nature. Life Giver. Home Sitter. The Noticer of All Things Small and Great. I listen. I listen to you. I come for you. I create for you. I receive all of you. I know things. I know things you don\u2019t. I kiss the sky, even when you won\u2019t. I grieve for loss. I celebrate gain. I am victorious even in my pain.<\/p>\n

Birth<\/p>\n

This is my garden and I walk barefoot through it, throwing open the doors holding back all the love that is not being shared
\nSilent witness to the world of invisible things we can see but refuse to, silent no longer
\nI make poetry
\nI dry herbs in the kitchen
\nI dance alone to the setting sun
\nI am a raindancer
\ndancing for rain in a drought of soul<\/p>\n

I do my women\u2019s work
\nThe work that all women do,
\nSilent but not quiet
\nWe ask for fresh water, for healing, cleansing
\nWe make magic disguised as small ordinary everyday things<\/p>\n

Feeling blood pump back into muscle
\nRemembering what\u2019s not mine and what is mine, strength grows
\nThere is power in small places
\nA garden can feed a neighborhood
\nA bedroom can conceive a life
\nA dream can give rise to vision
\nAn ant can pull 10x her body weight
\nMiracles happen
\nA rhinoceros gives strawberry pink milk to her young<\/p>\n

My strawberry flows into me and into you
\nI leave a trail of sweet smelling fragrance wherever I walk
\nLight follows me
\nSound of music and birds find me
\nI open my mailbox and I receive… my self<\/p>\n

I can find myself again because I know where to look.
\nI can take nourishment in the Mother<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This poem was excerpted in the\u00a0essay Sagittarius Full Moon: A World You Want to Live In<\/a>. In it, I addressed the disillusionment we’ve been experiencing as a collective and the need for each of us to consciously embody and value the feminine – to create the world we want to live in. This is the full length poem, written under the light of a Sagittarius Full Moon — also referred to as the Strawberry Moon.<\/em><\/p>\n
