The Star I Ride

The Star I Ride

written by: Elizabeth Bonsera

 

It cannot be described—
but still, I try.
Of course I try.
To find the words
for things
with none at all.

I vibrate now,
deep in my soul—
a thrum, a hush,
a holy hum—
remembering
I am.
Fully,
wholly,
one.

And fancy that—
there is no time,
no future, past.
Ain’t that sublime?
It’s only now,
this breath,
this pulse,
this star I ride.

The only truth—
somehow—
is what I see,
with wide eyes—
the child’s eyes,
and the woman,
and the queen.

What’s quaking
in the space
between the skin,
the bones,
the soil?

Firmly planted,
rooting,
rising—
bloom and blossom.
Higher still,
she remembers.
She remembers.

Then—
the stillness.
The hush.

And the Goddess comes
to whisper
what she always knew:

I am you.
