Am I the scream?
… Of the earth within, cracking open the core.
Am I the cry?
… Of the womb that created and carried time in every cell.
Am I the rumble of rage?
… Of the bloody warrior who is standing her ground and saying: No More!
Am I the deep echoing laughter of crazy?
… Of the witch, the wise, the elder.
Am I the whirling dance and never-ending play?
… Of the innocent, untamed and wild child.
Am I the orgasm of giving birth?
… Of the one who knows death and birth are one.
Am I the carrier through the dark?
… In the underworld, the naked, the healer.
Am I feared?
… Only by the ones who thought clever.
Am I patient?
… Eternity is now.
Am I kind and gentle too?
… From love and back to love.
Behold,
I Am Mother
Maya Abou Chedid
