To Be A Woman

Wild heart,
Powerful voice
Tender touch
Man's choice

From youth,
Mystically guided
Awakened
Ancient-eyed

Wounded, meeting desires
the feminine mystery
Transcendent beauty
Heart of God, in history

Ultimate sources of joy
Founded by fierce desires
Wildflower-free
Shame in the fires?

Relational to the core
Gracefully wearing the world's thorn
Rugged and weary
In glory, untorn

The crowning touch
Creation's finale
Fully aware
Living life's fantasy

Born with full purpose
Irreplaceable role
To be the adventurer
The mightiest soul

We embrace being women
We honor the right
We reach for the stars
With very clear sight
