muse

morning still

soft sacred silent receptive 

you come whispering 

tiptoeing in on breezy feet

a kiss and smile on your lips 

cheeks flushed and laughing 

goosebumps from the cold

mud on your cheek 

your hair smells like wet grass 

there's ferns stuck between your toes 

wild doe, gentle wild fierce being darling creature

she who howls in the night and dances in the day and fears nothing yet lies quaking 

she who holds all the world in her hands yet mutters self-limiting mantras to herself under her breath 

she would glitters on stages around the world yet cannot stand atop the stage within her heart

and dialogue with her self 

why 

can't i hear you? 

morning silence, midnight waiting, baiting 

i welcome you 

with smoke, stone, and elixir 

i welcome you 

with colors, books, and music

i welcome you 

with empty pages, receptive bodies, 

and baskets once overflowing now tipped dry to receive the blessings of sun, wind, moon, earth

i welcome you 

silent raging loud ravaging one

creator destructress amazing empress

come fill me now

svadisthana chakra

confidence to walk with purpose and solidity, and a devilish waggle in the hips 

courage to shout when i need to, and whisper into all the perfect caves and potholes 

oceanic flexibility to twist as far as i need to go, and wisdom to know just when to stop 

boldness to wear the clothes that sing my unique personality 

fearlessness to draw spirals in linear landscapes 

and an inner smile that rises up from balanced central space

walking and waking, within and without

muladara

dive into the red

into the root

this is where we begin 

we root down to rise up 

who are you 

where is your home 

who are your people 

why were you placed upon this Earth

primal needs

feed, bathe, clothe, and shelter me 

ancient repressed traumas that form who we are today 

and are our greatest gifts 

what hurts you the most once hurt you the most 

how does that sculpt your current reality 

who you are today

how are you moving 

forward 

from this place of 

ancient trauma 

small self 

sweet inner child screaming 

hold me 

how do we move from 

here
