You take clay, knead it,
add enough tears, stir,
touch, love to life
and you have Woman ~
a good woman!
Bones find their places
ways to bend
reasons to fold
reasons to crumble
reasons to rise ~
she only gets better!
Heart; fired, glazed,
tempered… yes, tempered,
so no heat could completely melt her ~
she is a gem of a woman!
Stand her in wind, in rain,
whip her with wave, with lightning,
burn all her dreams down ~
she is a stand-strong woman!
She raises poems
like daughters
that blossom and give fruit
like sacred gifts,
like manna to thousands ~
she is best at that!
She is beautifully wise, witty;
she can recant wishes,
divine dear ones,
deliver friends and feelings
with a simple sigh ~
she is no ordinary woman!
she is night, hope, hallowed voice
in wildernesses; in shadows,
she is that small hum of healing;
in sunshine, she is laughter of angels;
in sorrow, she is a dear downed swan;
in friendship, she is sister ~
she is girl-child goddess
who remembers she is daughter of Eve.
