In our hearts we are sisters in this world of poetry
Bound by one vision, that we are all allowed to be free
We lean on each other, when so weary we can’t stand
And know that the greatest sin, is to take a sister’s man

We are fierce in our devotion, to family and to friends
In our hearts there is no way to tell, where love begins or ends
Hands reach out in sisterhood, without prejudice or pride
To share the darkest secrets kept, hidden deep inside

Looking back towards our ancestry, to those who’ve gone before
We know all we’ve gained isn’t just, being first to go through a door
We gained the right to learn and to learn from our mistakes
We know what it means to lose and we know what winning takes

We are sinners and we are angels, we are mothers and wives
Bound together by appreciation of the joy in our lives
Each day we thank God for the chance to be free
To live, to love and most of all, to write our poetry.


****

For you S.

I looked for this last night and couldn't
find it at the time... I don't who wrote it
but I thought it so appropriate....

"Sisters of a kin to spirits, these wild
ones ride upon the winds. They slip
across the sky at daybreak or dusk,
and upon the waters edge where at
times, a lucky one may glimpse them
in the moment between forms...."

and I'm the "lucky" one
