Cradle of light

A Love Holy and Mine

By T. E. DoorPublished 11 months ago 1 min read
a beautiful Black woman standing in a softly lit, cozy room, embracing herself with a serene and confident expression, symbolizing self-love and empowerment. She gazes into a stylish vanity mirror, where affirmations of self-love such as 'I am enough,' 'I am worthy,' 'I love myself,' and 'I am powerful' are clearly written in elegant glowing script. The atmosphere features warm pink and gold hues, with gentle sunlight streaming through a window. Floating petals and subtle glowing lights enhance the ambiance, creating a sense of peace, self-care, and inner strength. The setting is contemporary, featuring elegant decor and soft textures, embodying a modern-day expression of self-love and confidence.

Cradled in soft light,

love sways like a lullaby,

I am my own peace.

Tears baptize my skin,

whispers rise like angel hymns,

grace blooms in my hands.

No need to be found,

like Mary, I birth my love,

tender as first breath,

holy as dawn’s glow,

divine, endless, mine.
