the ocean is in me
because she holds my tears,
rocks my heart like a ballad.
the earth is my cradle
from which my mother bore me,
the ground that never falters.
the stars are my fate
like patterns of destiny
written in my eyes.
the universe is in me
even when i cannot
find her.
my fingertips are circles
like the rings of the trees.
my veins are vines
crawling up my legs.
my lips are petals
that unfurl gently.
the air i breathe
dangles from the forest.
the songs i recite
are engraved in the rocks.
you cannot take the universe from me
and me, from her.
