Sometimes she thought

am I just a collection of bones

linked into structure

vertebrae piled high to support

the working brain

while Earth bloomed around her

unnoticed

Until one day

she placed its green life

upon her brow

encircling her crown

and felt the light of illumination

unfold its golden petals

and she thought

I am more than this body

of bones
