The ALL of ALL

I AM the ALL of ALL

the breath of BEING

the inhalation the exhalation

the rippling waters of the stream

the cresting wave of the ocean

the rising and setting sun

the ebb and flow of the tides

the seed the flower in bloom

the passion the rapture all sensibilities

I AM WOMAN

ever in receipt ever in giving.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
