Ancestral Roots

I am the one whose identity hangs on jeweled chains. I am the one who grows even when the soil is dry and barren.

Black and Blue

I am the one who yearns to see the light seep through these bars of pain.

Bottled Up

I am the one who is locked up inside unable to speak my truths.

Buoyancy

I am the one who sails in the waters, bold and buoyant, hoping that someone hears my cry for help.

Camera Lady - skeletons in the closet

I am the one who is taking inventory of all my life's losses.

Coiled in Steel

I am the one who tries to witness the details without the burden of the visual intake.

Compassion

I am the one who offers love and compassion beyond measure.

Dilapidation

I am the one who haunts the fields, closed down, too destroyed to keep producing, echoing across barren fields, a reminder of what once was and what is yet to be.

Empty Chair

I am the one who has been chopped up out of my natural form and sat on by others, worn and tattered, yet strong and stable.

Exotic Femme

I am the one who looks beyond the sweet smile to find the storms of the internal landscape, a reflection of the fine person inside.

Fallen In Blue

I am the one whose memories are vast and hopes are few.

A Tiny Existence

I am the one who, despite my small and limited existence, can metamorphose into a lovely and gentle being, flying freely amidst the dangers of the universe.

Fledgling Spirit

I am the one who remains grounded and ready to fly.

Free Wishes

I am the one who has the complete freedom to choose the right beginning. I am the one who can recognize truth out of the sea of falsehoods.

Germinating Hope

I am the one whose tapestries weave in many variations of a story yet untold. I am the one who towers great wishes above the yearning, bringing reality to the unseen.

Highway to Heaven

I am the one who is witness to the sufferings of the world. I am the one who is enwrapped in tattered tapestries, vision tainted by dirty threads, seeking warmth in the barren cold.

Lady of Great Wisdom

I am the one who sees beyond the superficial layers, the individual parts, eyes wide open to the more complex whole.

Child's Pose

I am the one who lies in tender and gentle thoughts.

Navigation Through Empty Landscape

I am the one who navigates through the desolate landscape of emptiness grasping tightly to a seed of hope for a more beautiful future.

Returning Home

I am the one who is not ready to risk it all again for fear I won't survive. I am the one who travels the long path alone trying to find my way back home.
