Name

I am growing to be humble
And it’s a downward journey
An act of submission
No wonder that prayer feels so right on your knees
I’m going inward
And it’s not me that I find
Instead I hear my grandmother
And if I listen deeper still
I can hear the first mother
Singing to her womb
Humbled by the gravity of what is growing 
Inside
And when I hear her lullaby, calm and sweet
My entire being is hushed
Her voice resonates, caressing my spirit, leaving nothing
Untouched
I struggle to hear what she’s saying
As the world rushes by me
Then I realize
It’s only my name

Befriending Stars

I wanna befriend the shooting stars 
They will take me on a roller coaster 
Through the galaxy 
Where I will dance with the moon 
And let him sing me lullabies 
Letting go with sweet bliss 
I wanna sing along with the commits 
As they sing a song of triumph and joy 
I wanna listen to the stories of the stars 
Of the past, of the future 
They will tell me secrets that we will share 
And hold for years to come 
Then a fair well 
And kisses goodbye 
Back in my bed 
Why?
