My Power Rises
A poem about feeling connected to the natural world
My power rises from the forest floor
Through the decay of the plants, trees
and creatures that are no more
My secrets and emotions flow
within the water table below
My power rises from the forest floor
Up through the ferns with their intricate leaves
a carpet of sacred geometry
My power flows from the forest floor
through my soles
into my core
rising through the forest
through plants, and branches
till it reaches the tree tops
The birds carry the power within their song
and on their wings
It is carried in the caw of the crow
as it rises above
The caw of the crow
reminds me of who I am
who I was
and who I am to be
In the eye of crow
I see all that lies below
I see all
The rooted power in the forest floor
The ethereal light and shadow
that permeates our world
The gift of foresight from above
in the eye of the crow
My power rises from the forest floor
A Short Bio
An empath with newly discovered passion for writing. I find writing helps me release emotions that I carry, sometimes they are not even my own emotions, an emotional sponge so to speak. Creativity is where I find balance and release. I’m a long time photographer, mostly nature and travel photography and have recently started painting as well. I am in my renaissance, metamorphic stage or mother to crone transition in life.
I have a personal blog which contains some of my writing and photography.
