For those who ask...

I am fragile, that I
at times break in two,
but get back up
to see the sunset
and the moon rise.
I am teacher, lover,
student, friend.

I seek many answers to
questions in my head,
I explore consciousness
to find my trueth.
I am teacher, lover,
student, friend.

I am gentle,
holding hearts tenderly
as I would want mine held.
I am teacher, lover,
student, friend.

I seek beauty within you
tearing masks away
seeing window to your soul.
May I come in?
I am teacher, lover,
student, friend.

I speak open mic,
so that others will hear that
my invisibleness has a voice
speaks loud and clear.
I am teacher, lover,
student, friend.

I am one who
stands alone waiting,
with open heart for
the one waiting to receive light.
I am teacher, lover,
student, friend.

I agree with Lori, ebonygirl. I've been having a funny feeling that you were unmasking me. A horrible thought, but I can't help but admire you . . .

A beautiful self-portrait that just confirms the caring and compassion you've already shown us. *smile* Lovely!

Thank you so much for your encouraging of Sisterhood.
Ms. E

JP2 and Dark,
Yes, woman is very human, and goddesses at the same time,  let the unmasking begin.
LOL Ms. E
