Stood in front of you - bare,
You know my story
You know me
Through and thorough
You never deceive me
Nor can I
Though not blind
To my weakness,
Flaws and shortcomings.
I focus only on the good,
The strengths and positives.
Eyes reflect
Like a candle
Flaming the
Aspirations and dreams
Hope burning bright
Taking life as it unfolds
Writing some stories - own
Reflecting
Replenshing
I see myself
Beautiful and powerful at the same time. We learn, adapt and evolve.

ReplyDeleteThank you Alka.
Deleteeveryday being born again - beautiful line!
ReplyDeleteI think that if we do not realize that each day there are changes that we may not see until a matter of time then when we actually see the changes we are sometimes surprised. So I like how you have made it to where each day we are born again and so maybe we will see the changes each day and then when one day the changes are complete we will not be surprised.
ReplyDeleteSo much truth in what you have written. Very nice and all women should read this, especially young women.
