You know what? bravenak should be here.

Her poetry.

WE ARE WOMEN


We bring life
To the world
Bursting forth from wombs open
And hearts full
Cherish us
We are women


We bring color
To the stark land
Painting the earth in rainbow lights
Deep in need
Unselfish in deed
We are Women


We bring love
To the heart of stone
Soothing the soul with kindness and grace
Deft of mind
Full of compassion
We are Women


We bring aid
To the hopeless night
Bringing dreams of a brighter day
Accepting burdens
Calming fears
We are women


We bring mercy
To the blighted soul
Keeping the monsters at bay
Gifting forgiveness
Tempering cruelty
We are women


We bring strength
To the weak of will
Bearing the weight of expectations
Forging futures
Lifting shadows
We are women

I post without a link, I am sure she has no problem with that. She has allowed me to do that before. I will give no links. She has been stalked, to her home, someone sent her hate mail. Not at DU, to her home.

She is a talented poet. Please read.
