THE SCENT OF A WOMAN.



She is a Goddess
Donning various avatars, as
Effortlessly as she slips
Into various attires

From MANning the space
To scale the highest mountain
From leading a Nation
To swim across the deepest ocean

She spreads her wings
Transforms and blends
She merges, kneels
And also bends

Vulnerable, imperfect
And sometimes malevolent
Paying the price of choice
Through sacrifice

She can fight, She does let go
For what is her right
She is strong, no doubt there
Birthing a life is no mean feat.

    An eloquent expression of the strength of women - and birthing a life is something we men simply cannot do, unless we happen to be seahorses!

    My wife is one of these women. Just had our fourth with no pain meds. Seriously tough! This has a nice uplifting feel to it. Thanks for sharing.

    So true of women. The strength IS there.

    Hmmm, now I see that you have mentioned Poetry Jam on this poem. I am wondering if the wrong one is linked. Perhaps you could comment over at the Poetry Jam site. If you have linked the wrong one, I can change it.

    Oh, the power and the energy that is "woman"! Strong and flexible at the same time. What a great gift God has given us, and you have expressed it beautifully here, Janu!
    Blessings!
