Who am I?

Who am I?

I am Enigma

Wild like an Arabian mare

Unpredictable like a tornado

I am love and pain

I am night and day

I am light and shadow

I am poet and nerd

I am the student and the teacher

Sensuality flows through my veins

Naïve like a newborn dove

Astute like a haunting fox

Haunted are my eyes

Yet my heart remains untamed.

I am the philosopher stone

I am your mirror,

There is no hiding from me

You can ran all you want

Yet your legs will always bring you back

Wanting to know more

Seeking for a revelation

Of that which you don’t dare show

Yet I see it clear as day

I see your darkness,

I see your light

Yet myself I am unable to define.

As I look at my own reflection,

I wonder who am I looking at today

There are days when words flow like honey

And days where silence covers me like a fog

There are days when I feel like a wounded bird

When everything seems gray

And I can barely crawl

Those are the days my wounds bleed again

Where my mind battles with madness

As my shadow rises up and demands to dance

I surrender to her arms

For I am her and she is I.

As I let go of my desire to fight back

I can feel her loving embrace

“Trusts me” she whispers

And I let go to the abyss

As I am engulfed by its dark waters,

I think I will drown

Instead I am given the breath of life

Out of of the abyss I rise one more time

I can now feel my wings

I spread them wide

Like a falcon soaring through the sky

I can see everything

I am no longer blind

I wake up as if from a dream

All my senses come to life

Those are the days I feel flowers rising from my soul

My spirit brighter as hope spreads like a wild vine

Those are days when I can sing and dance

Where nothing is impossible

And I can defeat every obstacle

Who am I?

I am the tortured artist,

The philosopher,

I am woman and child

Who am I?

I am everything and nothing

I am the one you can’t describe

I believe, with quiet fervor, that one soul can shift the course of many. I write not from abstraction, but from the raw immediacy of lived experience and learned studies - from the labyrinth of my own challenges, triumphs, questions and awakenings. In offering the contours of my inner world, I hope to awaken in others a remembrance of their own power, their own unclaimed wholeness.

    1. Thank you😊🙏 I feel too many people spend too much time trying to demonize the shadow, failing to realize in doing so, they are demonizing a part of themselves. We cannot outran who we are, we can learn from our shadow; it has valuable lessons to offer and within those lessons “gifts” for our own self healing and growth.
