Who am I

You wanted to know who am I 

I am the flame men get drawn to like moths,

Crash and burn in the sizzling heat of my being 

While my flame sputters for a moment

Only to rise back up stronger and brighter.

You wanted to know who am I

I am the water gushing through the streams, rivers and into the whirlpool in the middle of the sea 

Pulling you into my soul like a heady mess

Gasping for breath but unable to fight the current of my emotions 

Being carried away into calmer waters once you’ve learnt your lesson 

You wanted to know who am I 

I am the whirlwind that spins you around 

Light weighted and free in my presence 

My laughter letting you float in a cloud of bliss 

Until you land gently or with force 

Depending on the choices you made while flying with my wind beneath your wings

You wanted to know who am I

I am the nurturing earth

My fruits feed your soul 

Satiating your hunger and letting you grow strong 

My perfume fills your world with beauty and ecstasy 

My flowers adorn your hair and body

Giving you the childlike mirth you once lost 

You wanted to know who I am

I am the invisible hand that caresses your spirit 

Wiping the tears off your face 

Lifting you up from the depths of despair 

Teaching you your worth and you place in the universe 

I am a woman, quintessentially

I am a woman forevermore

I am…me!
