I Am I am silence, moving and deep, I am power to make hearts leap. I am healing, to nurture and care, I am justice, cruel and fair. I am earth, fertile and strong, I bring the seasons, short and long. I am air, gentle and fierce, The breath of life no man can pierce. I am fire, wild and tame, The power in all that is the same. I am water, ebb and flow, The tide of life, high and low. I am the maiden, innocent and pure, Symbol of youth, swift and sure. I am the mother, strong and weak, I bear the joy and sorrow my children seek. I am the crone, ancient and wise, The bringer of insight, death and goodbyes. I am all women, the young and the old, The spirit that runs through the meek and the bold. I am many, and I am the one, Ruling the heavens, the moon and the sun.                                   Laura Dewey Copyright ©2002 Laura Dewey
