woman is well-rounded;
engineered with soft curves
to offer warm comfort, to
surround with accepting love
her wise eyes see hearts,
perceive another’s authenticity;
her sincere smile extends welcome
to beloved ones and strangers
she embodies social stability,
possesses strength of experience;
can keep home fires burning
and sustain the life of family
like her monthly cycle,
she gives generously
yet renews her energy;
circular pattern moves forward
why are we so afraid of
intrinsic-born femininity?
embrace the beautiful differences
of reality’s complimentary design!
a woman is not a man
and need not pretend to be
we are womb of humanity
and live beyond definition
