I have known the secret
of my great beauty
all my life.
The mountain’s smooth
rhythmic undulation
told me she understood.
The water
of all pure ever-renewing
life,
spoke to me of my own
life giving love ~
that poured forth
from me
as easily
as the ocean’s tides.
Bees whispered
about flower nectar
and knew
the honey buzzing
hive
of my Queen within.
Storms cracked lightning
to acknowledge
the enormous power
of my seeing
and touching you and the world.
