‘Writer I am, artist I am, mother I am,
Sister I am, wife I am,’ human I am, Woman I am is Beautiful. I know I am, however I am, however I choose, I create, whatever colors I paint, I write, I show, I emanate with, express, are of my soul. Built by who I was, Rebuilt by what I chose, Where I came from, Where I flew, Where I drifted, To learn from, to face, to heal, To be human, All connects, All is woven together, Built while I was waiting, Built by every in-between, In process, deconstructed, In relapses, in arising, While I do what I do, With what is here. I am built from all my yesterdays, No wishing anything was different, For who I am now, For who I am to become, Wouldn’t be who I am now, If anything, I mean anything, Was changed to be different than it was, Thank you yesterday. Glad after much repetition, I leapt from that hamster wheel, Into another, to only discover, There is so much more to life, Ablazing my own trail, With my own two feet, This body, these arms, This soul, within this mind, This adventure, this heart of mine, To learn from, grow through, Experience, coming undone, Unlearning, dealing with no 100% guarantee, Becoming only more and more expansive, More open to myself, to the world, More to share, more to live for, More to live, love, laugh, learn with. I am humbled by life, And all its turns, All its jumps, All its quakes, All its abundance, Always comes full circle, Then twists and runneth’s over, To transform its shape and qualities, Yet again, to begin, to rebirth, To become. Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror I am gratefully who I believe I am, And at any given moment, That I am free to change, I am free to carve, create, build to rebuild, Mine for the taking, cultivating, sharing, Giving, serving, wherever I decide to take me..
