Woman Power

Wake to our truth:
our radiant beauty
is not dependent
on our body alone;
it is deeper, glowing
from our feminine center.

Man,
we want you to enjoy every part of us
so touch us there too,
where our light gathers
like star dust
burning for you.

Man,
treasure what we offer.
It cannot be taken, it is a gift.
Though we are taught
we aren’t enough,
help us unlearn this
when the pressure is too much.
Let us be your light of the night.
We are sacred protectors of life.

Man,
we know your pain.
It’s ok to cry.
To you we are
the other half of the sky.
We don’t wish to be above you.
You are beauty too.
We want to be with you,
both of us renewed.

Inspired in part by the opening line to “Woman” by John Lennon.
