Goddess

morning skies, morning rise

luis miguel’s Romance on the record player

a stretch to begin my day

coffee’s been brewed, the smell enriches my home

mi cafecito con leche y azúcar in hand

the candles have all been lit, spritzed the sweet pink perfume

skincare has been laid softly on my beautiful skin

skin so clear from lack of stress

the mood is set to have the most relaxing day

everything is still, quiet & peaceful

save for the most beautiful music filling the space

spa pedicure’s been scheduled for later

my life, so sweet

after writing, i play with my new mic

sing melodies, harmonies, & everything in between

i feel the most alive & me

a feeling i cannot compare to anything else

a mirror sits in front of my recording equipment

i catch the most gorgeous glimpses of a relaxed & at-peace Athena

the sweetest smile on her adorable face

i admire her ever so lovingly

& i think to myself,

“what a privilege i get to be this gorgeous lady in this lifetime”

this is the life i adore

see because i have always loved myself

it was others’ projections onto me that i mistook for my own inner voice

but even baby Athena knew the girl that she was

& the woman she would grow up to be

never a doubt about it

she is magnificent, adored, & magical

my first love was actually me

& that’s the true love i crave & seek
