Ramblings

Perhaps it’s only just the wind
that brings the sound to me,
rumbling, “listen up, little girl,”
so there it is, our history…

Feminism came into play,
and while all aspects seemed
deigned for women to take on the world,
still some of us do dream…

For treatment, fair; for respect, a given;
but somehow it became much more,
and woman became the one so driven
that much was left behind closed doors.

So when I hear, upon gone winds,
the rumbling sounds of history
it brings back something wonderful
“listen up, little girl”; we shall see.

For I can still be one’s little girl,
and be a woman, well met,
it’s all in what you want from life,
and how you hedge inner bets.

No need for anyone to delve too deep
into this ramble that sprawls along,
just remember it’s only the wind
and a kind of little girl song.

This reminded of a story about a woman who ran away to Nevada (19th century) because she was her husband's property and he was abusive. It was a very revealing story about how subjugated women were. (Maybe too depressing?) You told yours elegantly. KJ

I compare the first women feminists who stood up to the old boy network much like how Jackie Robinson stood up as the first black baseball player in all white league. Only when dreams are seen as something attainable can 'will' take over and achieve it.
Nice rumbles within rambles, Karilea!

oh..me thinks the "delving"would find the lovely woods...dark and deep.

may wisdoms in your rhymes poetess sun...
comes from a woman whos found her stride and yet still skips like the inner child

Virginia hasn't yet faded away
I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
So I am endlessly waiting

Yes, we can be both can't we?
Did I ever tell you I love your ramblings?

I heard this one speak to me on the winds today.
