I am a woman

A pretty flower
To decorate the hour
An unwanted daughter
To the sacrificial slaughter
Nature’s Enchantress
To be eventually suppressed

A gift to her brother
Part slave, part-time mother
A heavenly console
Holding hell in control
Angelic balancing act
Sister to be exact

A plaything, a mere toy
To be taken apart or enjoyed
A ripened fruit of gold
A sweet dish served hot or cold
Sky’s mistress or Earth’s wife
Yet another role of life

To give birth to all
Mother Gaia’s call
Supreme Creatress
Of reality and dreams
Ultimate comfortress
Protectress in extremes

From the depths of the core
A yearning desire to be more
Daughter, sister, wife, mother
One major role after another
Originally cut out to be… simply me
Woman, goddess…phenomenally

To be or not to be
I am a woman…phenomenally

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.
