~
Made captive by circumstance
in the garden of our sex
let there be a resurrection
of memory’s flesh held in stone,
the Earth herself embodying
the records of this undoing.
~
A longed for freedom
now pulses with a courage
transparent as a string of worn pearls
from the sea of this misguided betrayal
~
For we have always breathed as one
in any way our souls take breath
birthing a life
that blesses all

Thank you GS…I’ve been thinking more about the world community as far as gender issues go, now that women in developing/other countries are speaking out. I applaud them… their courage, strength, grace and incredible beauty. We have a certain kind of leisure here to create ourselves as women….I’m questioning what I’ve done with it in a broader sense. Growth spurt I hope…
