butterfly woman bone sigh

in a darkness that wasn't scary,
she glittered and intrigued me,
seeing women of the ages in her profile.
she turned her eyes towards me.
i saw my own eyes.
and my world shook.

Darkness doesn't have to be scary.
Lots of growth and renewal come from darkness,
not to mention new life.

Way to go, butterfly woman.

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
