WOMAN

​ I’m made of 
water
clay
bits of stone
and bone
wisps of hair
and a little despair 
I’m fueled 
with fire 
elemental
soulfully 
sentimental
I breathe 
with the trees
I dream
and scheme
I make my start
and my art
from the heart
and after a fashion
express my passion
‘cause if I don’t
grab onto 
the now 
I miss out
on living
and giving
forgiving 
and thanksgiving 
I live in
this sea 
of emotion
soft hands 
of devotion 
wrapped 
in rays
of the rainbow
sun and moon
I’m not immune
to the trials
and trivialities 
before you judge
just what 
you’re seein’ in me
try walkin’ a mile
in my shoes
and 
I’ll walk in yours
let’s open some doors
together
see each other
for real
no longer conceal
let’s just heal
ourselves
stand tall
for once 
and for all.
