Strong Woman

I AM

that solitary moment

that sends the sinews

of my brain cells into a frenzy

I am a daughter of the moon,

a child of the sun,

all my beliefs now turned into one.

A daughter, sister, lover to some.

A strong woman.

My ancestors sing from the bloodied ground

and rise up to the stars.

I am honor, faith, and trust

all virtues I hold dear.

An artist, poet, author, and speaker

I create, shape, mold my visions.

I raise my voice to the heavens

I am a spirit being on this Earth.

I am Christina.... a strong woman
