ROOTING FOR RELATIONSHIP

In the process of
Trying to connect
Creative energy
Stood erect

Unbending, unyielding
Expression fully known
She knew self
And didn't need to be shown

...humility

They grabbed and mauled
Pulled her to the ground
Covered her mouth
So she couldn't sound

The alarm was mute
Her fight was gone
She was boxed and packaged
PROGRAMMED to carry on

...bondage

The spark was almost out
When a light arose from within
She saw the TRUTH
That had grown from sin

Separation from source
Trying to create without permission
Gave rise to empires
Dead set on derision

...sovereignty

When she came to be
The ocean surrounded presence
She couldn't be separated
From her god-given essence

Striving stopped, flow released
What was given, fully received
Clothed in golden light
Showed the TRUTH of how lies deceived

...Kingdom
