joy is in me
it lives in my body
rises like a lymph
immersed in her I share colours and light
I become her
becoming also myself
I respect her
respecting myself
I love her
loving myself
She is within me and outside of me
She surrounds me, radiates in me, illuminates me, comforts me, without a gift in exchange
I am embracer - embraced
love is in me
fate is kind
fate is kind
fate is kind
inspiration like a good mother returns and you are once more on your path
you must believe in life
Believe that you can know the truth about life
truth is the goal
Inspired by the fervor at least the equal of Shelley she endeavored to reconcile a sentimental domestic bias with a sublime over-reaching into the infinite.
