a mystery to men

Location

masterful educator

makes conscious effort

to exercise her words

never to hide behind it

 

meditation in moon lodge

where the lunar retreats to its resting place

for bleeding women

of mythical powers

 

recall her 1st menstruation

the gift of red honey

symbolizes the birth of life

 

medicine women

runs her brown fingers

over a daughter's swollen belly

the laws of universe

imposes responsibilities that needs to be fulfilled

healing incarnation

a wedding that embodies prayer and celebration

 

brown magic woman

soars with grace like an eagle flying in the skies

painting for war

under the covers of the night

in the heart we call earth

elements of hazzardous danger in her swagger

 

as the unthinkable lurks

the unimanginable occured

in a corner of her soul

that knows

that destiny offers no security nor love
