w*man

woman
you're like nothing
i've ever seen!
what a blessing!

bless all that you are
bless all that you have been
bless all that you will be

intellect
life
nuance
beauty
blood
hunger
love
suffering
victory
vigor
distinction
questions
answers
universe
home

we rise above
we forgive
we fall and fail
we ask and demand
we smolder and smoke
but we no longer
stutter when
we tell the world
do give us our due

it all may
be built on our roots
but it is now
time for us
to blossom
