Birthright

You were born knowing

you are one

with the sun’s light,

moon’s radiance,

the calm dawn opening

to birdsong.


What happened along the way

to make you forget

your oneness

with the ancient oak,

the ocean’s tides,

the entire natural world?


Did no one help you

to remember

you are a sacred spark

that shines as bright

as the north star?


You came for a purpose.

You are precious

beyond measure.

It’s not possible for you to stray

from your intended path.
