Unobserved 🌺

🌺

It feels good to be unheard..
Alone & unobserved,
Except by me and my chirping birds
They wake me up in the mornings
From my bone deep slumber

My breasts rise and fall
Slowly and deeply, with every breath, I notice now,
How I ebb and flow-
An ocean of my own ;
One with the current and pulse of the cosmos

I stop to catch myself in the mirror
I look upon my features
How they bend and turn
Sharp edges and slow curves,
So a lovers tongue, may rise and fall-
A fractal of my own ;
One with the make and design of the cosmos

It feels good to feel myself
I notice now
How I move and step
A rhythm of my own ;
Heart beating to the heart beat of the cosmos

It feels good to be alone
I can feel now, all the colours of the spectrum
I see now, deeper depths than before
I can taste in my mouth now-
honey and lemon and Salt and cinnamon
I hear now-
The music in my ears from the music of the spheres
I touch now, mySelf-
In my hips there builds a rising crescendo-
A being of my own ;
One with the bliss and abyss of the cosmos

I have been a flower
Blooming every spring and dying every winter,
Shedding in the autumn and singing in the summer -
I was going through the motions
Unmindful of the seasons
Passing by without a pause
to spot myself in my garden and admire all my flaws (flowers!),

It feels good to be alone,
it’s when I’m most together -
All the parts of me feel whole,
when we hold each other-
The garden and the gardener,
separated no more.
A creation of my own;
One with the cosmos.
