try God

I am remembering my creator

Remembering who I was before my journey from the heavens to the earth

Before my feet touched the soil

Before the soil swallowed me whole

Made in the likeness

Molded in the image

The physicality of divine consciousness

Rooted in the dirt that birthed me

The dirt my ancestors toiled

Watered by my mother’s tears

Like a baobab tree I bloom

I am the creator on earth

Rising from the soil

Whoever tries me, tries God
