I wrote this while pondering the subject of self-love, I decided to write a love poem to myself based on some experiences I’ve had the past 7 years, here is the results:
I Love Me
I walk through the forest called life as
Daisies blossom against obsidian skies
Feet bare,
and grounded into dirt.
A flame ablaze in the distance,
Heart becomes a reflection.
Darkness fades and lunar energy
Lights the path in front of me.
Do I trust the gods and walk forward?
Or, pivot my flesh to walk back into the night?
The glow brings my eyes to a stupor,
I am spellbound.
I am one with the night and
Dance with the deities.
I am ready for
the shaman’s blessing.
It is time to drift from fright
And fall into the universe’s embrace.
Great Spirit cradles me in a celestial blanket;
As the dusk arrives,
So does the love of the divine.
Another day, another opportunity
For a joyous stroll.
