“Becoming” – Poem by Rina Lucas

So much of who we are
Is acquired
Along each experience
Exuding evidence
Of who we have always been
And dare to become,
Building big dreams
On small steps
Unfolding
From foundational faith
That we are…
And we are enough,
In this moment
Of precise perfection
There is not one more thing
We must do
To be
Who we are,
We just are
And what we are is enough,
As our bodies grow and change
As our essence evolves with age
As we struggle against the barriers
That keep us tightly folded within ourselves
In this stillness
Still
We are enough,
One day those dark walls of our own creation
Walls to protect
Walls to allow
Walls to accept
Walls to prepare
Walls to fight against so we can be stronger
Will burst,
Suddenly
We will know who we are
And who we have been all along,
In the quiet of the chrysalis
We begin to remember ourselves anew
And it gives us courage to break free,
We have always been strong
We have always been beautiful
We have always been brave
We have always been worthy of wings
To soar
On songs of hope
Becoming
Who we have always been
And always were meant to be.
