Inspired by “The Delight Song of Tsoai-talee” by N. SCOTT MOMADAY
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
I am the first sunlight in the horizon
I am the breeze that touches a rose’s petal
I am the ocean waves not sure if should go or come back
I am the autumn leaves wandering after an accomplished mission
I am the mystery life in other planets
I am an eagle hatching, the first heart bit in a mother’s womb
I am the silence of the grief
I am the wings of a hummingbird and the honey that makes it still
I am the feeling at the mountain peak
I am the infinity of the galaxies
I am the warmth of a sun kiss
I am the blossom of an early Spring
I am the rain, washing it all out
I am the sunset, bringing closure
I am the last breath of a faithful soul
I am the caterpillar’s hardest fight and its death
I am the awakening of a blue butterfly
I am as light as a feather descending, as strong as the thunder, as pure as a baby smile, as fragile as a dandelion in the wind, as delicate as an eyelash.
I am it all and I am nothing.
I am fire that burns, a bright star, a snowflake, a drop of salt water in the ocean.
I am an instrument, a small being, made human, ready to serve and to be, in its full potential.
I am the bridge that connects,
I am daughter of God.
