Inspired by a painting of Eagle Woman by Susan Seddon Boulet...
...
Verse 1:
And my hands are the same as the garden, I dig down deep
Reaching earth and soil and rock and riverbed
Here I am, oh here I stand
I wish I could fly and I can
I am eagle, I am woman
I am the whole world held in my hands
I am eagle, I am woman
I am the whole world held in a grain of sand
Verse 2:
And my body dissolves in the river that rolls round me
Washing my soul of all impurity
Tumble me like a riverstone
I wish I were water and I am
I am river, I am woman
I am the blood in my veins
I am river, I am woman
I am the lifeblood that flows in everything
Chorus:
And the ocean is cradled in the earth
Embraced by the sun and the whole of the universe
There’s no separation between you and me
We are all one in the eyes of divinity
Verse 3:
And my mind is clear as an amethyst hidden in stone
Crystal lucidity encased in flesh and bone
Luminous from an inner sun
I wish to be light and I am
I am radiant, I am woman
I am the chrysalis of eternal mind
I am radiant, I am woman
I am the chrysalis of everlasting life
(Chorus) . . . In the arms of infinity!
