In the magenta mist that settles slowly
over the edges of the nearby still lake,
the dirt of the day washes away from
mind's eyes and memory's banks.
Small bone fragments still surface randomly,
unannounced reminders of the skull slapping
suffered so long ago
from the hands of a souless mate.
Timeless images of cave man art
trigger menacing memories,
re-enforcing reasons to continue
sheering the stressed tresses of yesterday,
allowing soul and body space
to step away from the face of fear.
You are woman strong.
Resilient as the willow,
with will of steel no gale force
shall ever bend again.
Make your stand permanent,
Gibralter.

Not sure where this came from?  
But holding on to the women who know....because.

seems the depths this dwells in and came from to be deep indeed...

well done KC... very well done...

and that lotus must surely be a thing of beauty..

Thanks, Karilea. It comes from deep within, and from sharing realities.

Ron, yes, some wells are very deep.
And the lotus smiles, in blush.

This is simply brilliant Kacy!
Your words give me hope and will hold me up when I'm sinking,
and/or keep me from getting too close to the edge.

Bravo Woman!!!
