Pū‘ao 🌙 Womb

Where my creation lives⠀
Where my prayers bubble like head water springs ⠀
Where my grandmothers sit with me and tell me stories⠀
Where my blood churns like pele and bursts forth to make new land⠀
Where I return home to rest⠀
Where I find the answers to all of my questions ⠀
Where my lightning lives ⠀
Where I crack open and let love in⠀
Where I tremble and make pa‘akai beds full of forgiveness and time⠀
Where my songs hold me with the embrace of a crescent moon
Where my chants quake me to life⠀
Where my dance floats on ancient currents ⠀
Where my ea lives ⠀
Where my mauli thrives ⠀
Where I remember my power⠀
Where I hold my mana close⠀
Where I keep my courage strong and steady
Where I feel the wisdom of generations of women I descend from ever guiding me
Where I reclaim everything that was ever taken from me
Where I know true sovereignty
Where I keep my courage strong and steady
Where I deepen the revelations
Where I am
As I am
