My power is understated.
It simmers behind my smile.
Stretches and flexes behind my eyes.
It is in the swing of my arms,

And length of my stride.
As I walk through this world,
I feel the earth tremble with reverence.
I am unstoppable.

I am a goddess and a god -
I am limited to nothing.
The sun rises and sets for my pleasure.
The ocean swells and crashes against the shore,

Eternally bowing at my feet.
I reach out my hand,
To receive the winds cool kiss.
The rains cleanse my feet.
With every breath I breathe out life -
A part of my infinite self into this world.
And when I breathe my last earthly breath,

I will say these words,
And know truly what immortality means.
There is nothing I am not a part off.
And there is nothing that is not a part of me.

January 2001
