The end of Women’s History month has arrived, and so has this mini series of femininity expressed through poetry. I hope that you all have enjoyed all the pieces presented so far. I hope that even if you did not resonate with these poems, they have at least develop a better understanding of how things are for some of us.
Since this will be the last part of this series for a while, I wanted to depart with poetry from a variety of authors.
“Help me awaken the goddess within
where she’s slumbered too many years away,
until lightning strikes within my chest again
and thunder rolls within the words I say.
I call upon the water rushing in my veins
and I raise the winds within my soul.
Help me pull wisdom form my past pains
to help those in pieces become whole again.”
— Cristen Rodgers
”You
Beautiful woman
It’s okay to be fierce
It’s okay to be angry and express yourself
It’s okay to be sexual , passionate
To be creative, in flow
You are wise and intuitive
You are connected and empathetic
You are powerful
Your divine femininity is blossoming.”
— Lucia Jane
”Let me tell the tale
Of a girl who didn't stop,
Who climbed up every mountain
Without a pause upon the top.
She'd dance until each blade of grass
Was clothed in drops of dew,
And the sun knew her by name
But the silver moon did too.
For a fear had settled in her bones;
A fear of sitting still.
That if you're not moving forward
It must mean you never will.
So in time her dance got slower
And she looked at all she'd seen,
But found gaps inside the places
That she'd never fully been,
For she was a human doing
Human moving, human seeing,
But she'd never taken time
To simply be a human being.”

“When we are together,
we are nothing more
thank one beautiful heart.“
— Alexandra Vasiliu
”Beware;
for I am fearless,
and therefore
powerful.”
— Mary Shelley
