I am also from

I am also from the womb

of creative intent

and from the contrariness

of one who journeys mindfully.

I am also from the motherhood,

the sisterhood, et al,

of the blue of sky and oceans wide

that capture the best of me.

I am also from the knowing

of corners, bends, and curves

formed each into an obstacle

that tests my flexibility.

I am also from the thoughts

of the you, the them and they

loving, indifferent, hateful,

imbibed collectively.

But I’m also from the heart

of angelic realms divine

who stitched in my unhappiness

an eternal pressure valve.

And I’m also from the love

that surpasses understanding

but how loving can love be

when it severs me from you?
