SoulCollage: Claiming my Birthright

SoulCollage Card
by Raven Shree 
I was born into my birthright; 
it has evolved with me 
through the years.
From childhood...
into adolescence... 
into womanhood... 
the influence of shadow 
has shaped me. 

Shadow gives dimension
perspective 
balanced shape. 
It has been my friend 
and my enemy
for many years,
apprenticing me towards
my future - 
holding my hand 
through evolution
one silent scream at a time.  

The caress of shadow 
has carved me out of hiding. 
Giving me tools 
to walk forward 
into my power 
cultivating my soul service 
to this world. 

A birth name was given to me 
by biological parents 
my “Clark Kent” moniker.  
This container was needed 
so power could be cultivated 
nurtured, 
held,  
owned.

I have released my birth name 
and have claimed a new way 
to parent myself. 
I have claimed a new name, 
a new tribe, 
a new song by which to sing
my life alive.  

Raven Shree emerged 
from depths of darkness 
to guide me forward 
with power and strength 
cawing me forward 
as I evolve 
towards the light.
