There's this woman...

sereneThere's this woman
she inspires magenta
and wears it well
and talks with her hands, even in text
she radiates peace
but not that fluffy
new-age
marshmallow peace
it's stone contentment
rock-solid, knowing
herself as its source and
its creation
she eases onto the stage
and takes it over
she eases into your dreams
and takes you over
she is a force of nature
the kind of nature that washes
over you with its beauty, then
drags you out behind the barn
for a smoke and a drink and a laugh
she is language
word simplicity
she is a haiku -- no,
she is a dramatic monologue that leaves them
laughing in the aisles
There's this woman
she is vital
she is creation
and she lets me breathe by being this woman
this woman I recognize inside
the woman that is me
Happy birthday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
