Self-Love

He sowed seeds of self-love in my veins And together we have learned to cultivate the crop. The fruit grow off my body, and I apportion the fruit to any I can. I save the fruits for him and my children. My leaves paint how I am now: Green and flowing with energy.

Man, breathe me in and bring me home; I’m rooted to my Earth, but I can give you my creations to take with you. Make sure to return and exhale; Restore that knowledge and that part of me.

My body is the connection between the spirits and the tangible Earth.
