A Womyn Undone

With frayed edges

and tattered hair

I cry out,

"Why?"

Smiling at me

the sun replies,

"Why not?"

So focused on the clouds,

I miss her message

of Light and continue on,

leaving a trail of thread.

The layers of my story

begin to unravel

and I am left

exposed.

Naked and raw,

I perfect my bite.

Stay away.

Keep out.

Wild Womyn in mourning.

Don't Touch.

Like a caged animal,

I am broke in,

broken.

Abandoning my body,

I flee to my mind.

I can always find

somewhere to hide

in my mind.

But this heart will wither and die

if I continue to hide from the sun,

so peaking out

I hear the call,

"Why not?"

"Maybe she was meant to die

and you were left to find peace."

"Your life is not over yet.

Why would you want to waste any minute

of it in anger and sorrow?"

"let go!"

"Let go!"

"Let Go!"

Shed this skin for the new

and come home to your body.

Embrace your Lover at every opportunity you have for real connection.

Love selflessly.

Let go of expectation.

Say you're welcome after each genuine thank you.

For gifts do not need retribution.

Gifts are a selfless expression of your Love.

Give your Love freely -

As though you have never been hurt,

nor experienced Loss.

Stop Being Afraid.

You can not control that which has already been laid out before you.

You are already on the path of your life -

it is time to dance.

Dance for joy, for pain, for sorrow.

Dance for light, for dark, for all shades of gray.

Dance for sex, for autonomy, for connection.

Just dance for all that you need and more.
