A Clear Picture

Ok this is me

I am above all else kind

But I can be cruel to be kind

I am compassionate

But humankind has to take responsibility

I am spiritual

But as I the teacher speak I also need to listen

Mostly for myself

I am self and still Self I am

 

I am Priestess Protector of the Laws of Creation

I buried the book in the sand along with the jewel

I am 1(singular) and I am not coming back

 

I am funny and bright

Yet cast a shadow

I am innovative, expressive

Provocative and bold

Yet shy

I stand tall but have cowered and had my roots torn out

Still I grow

 

I am told I am beautiful inside and out

I have a sparkle in my eye and the powers of persuasion

I am passionate but choose abstinence

Like sugar and bread

 

I hear music in my head but do not play

I hear songs but do not sing them out loud

I write poetry…when I was young mostly about circles

Now love and this stuff

 

I love to be shocked …

Into new ways of thinking

I am not fearful of what may be just what is

I try to believe in 6 impossible things before breakfast

But I eat late

 

I am loyal, loving and honest

I used to wear my heart on my sleeve now I keep it under wrap

Except for you

 

Your journey may take you to a harem in a desert of love

You will eventually stop to replenish in water

I will wait patiently for you to see me there

With no reflection I will wait

 

Swimming in circles
