We Carry Ourselves

...the connections-
we link ourselves
through or speech, actions intentions
And yet we forget sometimes
that we are a fabric
You and me
connected
to Earth Mother
And being mother feel and sense
Responsible for our ancestors
Guided
And yet through words i Speak
their wisdom
the words that guide the breath of our world
through her pregnant existence
we travel towards knowing
and pause at the intersection of Self

WE CARRY
We carry or spirits
we carry or ancestors
we carry the animals, beings, loved ones
we carry ourselves
and it feels hard or delightful
we carry ourselves

i carry the names of my loved ones
dead before me they watch
my life bound by their blood
they worship my movements
and that takes me through the day

they follow my breath
and bring me to my turning points
they follow my breath
and lead me towards
Love
they follow my breath
and lead me towards
dear experiences of heart

SO they can remember
how to find the way in lives once lived
still living echoes
that started before i was and is

My Name is bold because i Hold myself present
and they appreciate
that i carry them &
honor them ...
for they brought me here.
