ladybird

See The WomenShe has a young face An old face She carries herself well In all ages She survives all man has doneIn some tribes she is free In some religions She is under man In some societies She’s worth what she consumesIn some nations She is delicate strength In some states She is told she is weak In some classes She is property ownedIn all instances She is sister to earth In all conditions She is life bringer In all life she is our necessitySee the woman eyes Flowers swaying On scattered hills Sundancing calling in the beesSee the woman heart Lavender butterflies Fronting blue sky Misty rain falling On soft wild rosesSee the woman beauty Lightning streaking Dark summer nights Forests of pines mating With new winter snowSee the woman spirit Daily serving courage With laughter Her breath a dream And a prayer
