Beginning
When the rain began to fall,
so did I,
born in water,
warm and safe as I
entered the world.
My mom and dad named me Ceara.
They wanted a girl,
so they got a skinny girl
with a perfect mouth
and strong cheekbones.
They got a brown haired, tall girl
with a passion for animals and art.
I arrived at my home,
quickly after birth
with millions of white candles lit for my arrival.
Dancing in my new mother's arms
to goddesses singing.
so did I,
born in water,
warm and safe as I
entered the world.
My mom and dad named me Ceara.
They wanted a girl,
so they got a skinny girl
with a perfect mouth
and strong cheekbones.
They got a brown haired, tall girl
with a passion for animals and art.
I arrived at my home,
quickly after birth
with millions of white candles lit for my arrival.
Dancing in my new mother's arms
to goddesses singing.
