Before the first breath there was light
The sun burns in my bloodstream
older than any name we gave it
The moon pulls the tides inside me
and the earth holds every bone I've broken
We are made of stardust and stone
we were never alone
— never alone
Sun in my chest,
moon in my veins
earth beneath my feet calls out my name I rise and fall
like the tides of time I am ancient light — I am
by design
Long before the cities rose
we read the sky like open scripture
The solar storms wrote on our skin
and every earthquake is a reminder
Feel it in your marrow feel it in your bones — we
are going
home
Sun in my chest,
moon in my veins
earth
beneath my feet calls out my name I rise and fall
like the tides of time
I am ancient light
— I am by design
The sun doesn't ask permission to rise
the moon doesn't need you to believe
and the earth
— she holds us anyway
that is what it means to be free
Sun in my chest,
moon in my veins
earth beneath my feet calls out
my name
I rise and fall — I fall and rise ancient light burning
behind these eyes
We are light returning home
