I am Woman
not merely her soul
not merely her spirit
but her very being

I am time
the passing of days
the passing of cycles
I am the very ages

I am woman
and
I am time
and because I am both
the ages of Woman
are under my eyes

I am Protector
I am Comforter
I am Fate
I am Queen
and though my name
was once silenced
it is now spoken again
just as it was
for generations
and so it shall be
for all time

Juno is the wife and sister of Jupiter, and Queen of the Roman gods.  Her name was once used to describe the soul of woman.  Just as the soul of a man was called a genius so the soul of a woman was called a juno.
