my legacy

 

I infuse my essence

 into my writing

for when my presence

is no longer accessible

when my playful dance

and appreciative glance

have gone to dust

with my beautiful body and fulfilling life

on this earth

for when I retire from all my roles

a sister, and a wife

no longer a daughter, or a friend

when I transcend

and reunite with mother universe

let me touch you with my verse

like a breeze

that can’t be seen

know me for my formless spirit

that is spread across your being

I’m expressed as the same cosmos

that created

your heart

let yourself be elated

feel my love

you’re still seen and you’re heard

in my word

I present

my present to your world
