I am the daughter of the sun and the sea
And I proudly stand ashore
The earth steps up to receive me
As I land luminous, at her door
I look for great spirits
Wandering o’oer this land
With them I want to share the stories
Of sun, sea and my land
For where I come from
There is only light
And every being a form of energy
To spread word of the good fight
And in my land, my mother sea
Gathers in her deep folds
Every feeling, every emotion
That man or beast could mould
When my father sun and mother sea, joyfully greet the day
They hold in their loving hands, the secrets of all creation, that day
To reveal what has been
And what will soon be at hand
They sent me from this wondrous land
To share the light afresh
With the soul of every man
Whose eyes long to see, the light that shines in me!
This 'may' be a little bit cerebral for most readers. However, your depictions are absolutely from a higher state of consciousness that must be read and enjoyed over and over again. Anita, we, you and I and the all of humanity are indeed creations/origins of this planet. Just as it is a living, all knowing and productive being. We reflect what it wishes as 'It' conducts with us this experiment called 'life'! I enjoyed this poem. Congratulatons!

Dear Anita, You stick your neck out, and say, 'here, cut it off'. So I have a problem, because I like you. And I have been in this business a very short time, so I don't trust myself. I can criticize you of things I am guilty of myself. With that as a prologue, here is my evaluation: The rythm is not perfect. Not that it has to be, but it jars slightly, at points. Also the content sounds a little too self aggrandizing for my taste. And some of the metaphors make me itch. So please forgive me. I will say that it is much better than most of the 16 year old nonsense there is on this site.
