The strength of your words touched something in my core.
The stories that you shared, made me think of my own, as well as that of other women.
A good woman can make a better man, just as a good man can make a better woman.
Thank you for your honesty, candidness, restraint, and most of all, respect.


"Femme"

What makes you and who?
Your calmness and fury do
Belong in beauty and a burning to be everything
As water and wine for the masses and kings.
Flowing outlines that define your being
That thoughts do glide in endless seeking.
Where do you start and how do you end?
You are the philosopher's stone, an allure that transcends,
To know you, and have you, in sacredness and in sin,
Where answers stop, more questions begin.

Child of wonder, child of might
That gives the world its lively light.
Restless spirit of land and sea,
Find your abode that you may be
A sprite that dances in fields of gold,
And sits as still whence one is told
With seeking mischief in thine eyes,
While laughing gaily in surprise,
And innocent belief in what you do,
Such is the blessing inside of you.

When change did come and felt within,
A clashing inside thee did begin,
Of wants and needs and lusts do lie,
As guile and wantonness would deny,
Your simple yearnings of life's giving
Tangled in hopes of your receiving,
As known to you as the unknown
And fully you emptied that you've shown
Your own self poured upon the earth
Of men and beasts of your rebirth.

Shattered and endless your tears did flow
Death's grip released did not let you go,
But only for a moment, you sold your pain
And stood while broken, but never in vain.
A fragile warrior that sought destiny,
To create, to hold, to nurture and carry,
And be your own self as others you made
This led your path, once paid, now repaid.
A finished but unended turning of tides
That binds together the lasting divide.

This enigma, our myst�re.
This chaos, our desire.
This essence, our madness.
This blessing, our presence.
The proclivities we choose to take or leave,
In wantings prove what we aggrieve.
In the harmony of senses we make our home,
And in the threshold of our silence, alone
With unexpected longings that still pierce our depths,
That in timeless rememberings, we keep and are kept.
