I Am This Woman

I am this comprehensive woman

I am the dancer and the drumbeat
I am the painter and the palette
I am the jeweler and the gem
I am tangled sheets and the lust
I am exhilaration and the cartwheel
I am the anger and the fist
I am the whimper and the grief
I am dark secrets and the shame
I am both the closet and its skeletons

I am this contradictory woman

I am straightforward and meandering
I am embrace and abandonment
I am appreciation and neglect
I am the hero and chorus of my own story
I am constancy and change
I am chaos and comfort
I am bound feet and angel wings
I am the bliss of ignorance and the Akashic record
I am my Karmic constraints and my infinite potential

I am this woman

I am the aggregate of my failures, successes, lost opportunities and serendipitous miracles
I am the mitochondrial essence of all my ancestors from the beginning of time
I am pure and perfect spirit, created from perpetual cosmic joy

I am this woman.
