Up from ground-down life come women,
old, dancing small steps the aged step,
carrying light that has been sealed for eons
weaving in and out between stunned silent girls
passing out rainbow reasons to aid another minute’s mastery
of dignity in spite of throat-clenching fear.

You got to do what you got to do, and we're glad you're doing it!
Another meaningful glimpse into your wondrous thinking...

Shine On, Scribe!
