The light is within you
A seed is planted in the ground with purpose, igniting a fire, taking up space
A new life is born
Our ancestors were born at a precise moment in time
Allowing you, me, we to be born
Written in the stars we were to live in this moment
A mosaic of all those who came before
Walking alongside us, growing with us
Time alive is preciousFlowers inside of you and me
Garden of thoughts of who we are and becoming to be
Pluck out the weeds, but observe their growth
Understand why they do, what are weeds saying to you
Conserving energy to understand what makes you thrive
Stretching roots can be scary, but who knows what’s on the other side
Growing pains sometimes they are
Yet I still rise
Some days can be filled with rain and storms
Normalize the rainbow of emotions to find freedomWatch the birds, bees, and butterflies fly through, around, and over you
Benefiting of off your gifts to the world,
Watch and observe and don’t forget to treat yourself
Find your tribe to support you, the flowers around you
Authentic in their own right, different and diverse, as are youStrong rooted in community
All together growing and blossoming
Growing at your own pace and glisteningIn this world don’t be anything but you
The light is within youVoting is open!

“Conserving energy to understand what makes you thrive”
I read this line over and over again! I even wrote it down because this is something I have struggled with for a while, I want to conserve healthy energy and give that same energy back. Thank you for planting the seed. 🙂
