“She Was”
…of a higher existence
And she was the storm
The earth moved
Not of the force but of her force
The wind blew as she breathed
Blowing her essence to the wind
Creating apparitions of her being
Traveling
Breezing through the rays of sun
Sunlight reflecting off her ebony tresses
Chocolate skin taking in the light of the world
She was the world
Of the water and earth
Water ebbing and flowing under her skin
Providing life
And life from the fire
Fires of change she leaves in her wake
Ashen earth marked by her footsteps
The soles of her feet the roots
Roots to give nature
Roots to take nature
And she Was the sky
Boundless
Limitless
A perpetual aspiration
For we know there is more beyond the known
And she is known
but remains unknown
And she was the beginning
The creator
The beginning of the start
And to every start is an ending
And she was the ending
From the earth to the earth
Returning her gifts
The power within
Yet she lives on
We knew her
We still do
She is us
She is inside us
Her purpose unfinished
Living on in our hearts
Tying us to a higher self
A higher us
An us with her
For we come from her
She was all who we are
And she is
