When a woman is born
from the awareness of lost love
hope finds a nest in her heart
and memories no longer
reside with bitterness.
Each turn, curve, and path
become the journey towards peace
without regard of destination
as she arrives there solely through forgiveness.
When a woman is born
out of darkness and sorrow
Divinity steps in with a golden lantern
shining light never seen before
on the future now guided by wisdom,
grace and love.
When a woman is born
from truth and authenticity
the world respects her
and nothing is ever viewed the same
because it isn’t what is seen with eyes
but captured through heart and soul.
Love lies in the self knowledge
of femininity, fertility,
and intimacy mirroring
in such a way that she doesn’t recognize
her transformation…at first.
When a woman is born
from the frailties of pain
her angel wings grow wider,
her muscles stronger,
her heart elongates to touch the essence of God.
It is in those moments that all doubts resign
and the “I AM” returns to the world
in the form of motherhood to herself.
[ Smiles ] Beautiful poem, Millie!
Aw! Many thanks sweetness. Greatly appreciated.
Just what I need this morning as I struggle to forgive a deep disappointment; as my forgiving Spirit does battle with my selfish, self-centered Ego. I won’t bother you with details — you have enough on your hands without me adding to it — just send me some of your positive, healing energy. Spirit will eventually win out; she just needs some time.
I am sorry for your disappointment. But, what a new opportunity to practice forgiveness, right? Sending you love and healing prayers my friend. Try and have a good day. I love you.
Thanks, Sweetie! You — and my girls — are my rock, my inspiration! I am trying but it’s a slow process right now. Love you too!
This is beyond beautiful and had me “sighing” at the end, Millie…
I am humbled. Thank YOU. Keep inspiring sweet lady.
Yea. What she said….sigh
😄smiling. Thanks.
No, thank you for writing
Missing your words on your page. Get going woman.
Zip. I got zip
Perfect first line…keep going.
