A woman, a spirit flowing In the marketplace Without pretense Sturdy and tender Opening to childbirth Vein of the son Companion to her body Beckoning quickened steps Lying dormant inside Silkweed breathe Calling upon spirits White horses of perseverance Tangible things Accessing presence Wearing the hearts brain Secular in things unseen Where does joy swell? From the dry dessert of horror From being nailed to the cross Assassins, terrorists Seeking vengeance Perception of worldly heavens Promenades the God of status Sitting on some distant cloud Crying in the wilderness Forgetting the miracle of being Life is woman fire With no pretense In the marketplace With a presentation of motherhood Meek, mild, and mentally compiled Old things tied with lace Clearly knowledgeable about life Lover of the soul Eternal Purling streams Thinks not of self But of her children’s needs Gold births a queen Made of another Retaining order Humble numberings Resemble happiness Think not nor take anything personal Look at the world through a mother’s eyes Like a woman flowing through the marketplace No one looks, but knows she’s there |

Excellent! Makes me understand a few things better now like "sitting on a distant cloud" - I think I do that often. |
