How can it be
That when I look down
At this dark pool
I see
Paradise
Reflected back to me
The magic of my son
Playing, laughing,
Splashing
Under the midday sun
The home that I find
In my lover’s embrace
Snuggle
Cuddle
Kiss his handsome face
The nest
Of my family
I rest
Into every day
Parents who see me
Who love me
Who support me
Who come to me
When I say
“Help”
A sister who fights for me
When I crumble
Into my
Self
Paradise
God
Inside of me
A queen
Divine
Holding my throne
Steady
Hearing, loving
My inner world
When it feels petty
My shame
My control
My fear
My blame
My joy
My peace
My love
All given
The same
Attention
Recognition
Access
To my love
And intuition
It is said that
Grief
And gratitude
Are held
In the same clenched fist
And isn’t this
The truth
Isn’t this
The now
The grace I see and experience
As I turn my face
Down
