It’s time to resurrect
our confidence,
recapture the sensitivity
of intuitive knowing,
acknowledge the power
of our resiliency;
we are women
merciful companions
healers attending
Divinity’s passage,
peace-seekers
directing life’s journey.
Too long have we equated
self-esteem with
patriarchal agendas,
disappointed with
our inability to meet
media standards,
blamed ourselves
for divorce,
disease,
staying home
to raise the children.
It’s time to honour
our strength, restore
feminine worth,
align our resources,
we are iron grace,
mindful caregivers,
mate with intention,
our vulnerability,
our sensuality,
aspects of intrinsic
wisdom, we are
keepers of the dream
beings steeped
in mystery:
it is time.

Yes, totally agree here in Australia! One of my 5Rhythms dance teachers (a man) said the other day: ‘if we don’t start honouring the Feminine, in the women all around us, and in ourselves as men, as well as the very Earth we stand upon, we’re all going to be fucked.’ I thought he put it very succinctly, and your poem does it even more gracefully. IT IS TIME! G
