The comfort of a woman

The comfort of a woman

Grants our weary soul a resting place

From within which we can gain strength

While touching base

With the ground of being

And deep inside

The clear purity and clarity

Of a woman’s eyes

Our soul feels

Beheld and reflected

But a strong woman

Will also give us a new perspective

On the deeper truth of things

Earned through tough experience

And when that woman smiles

The beams of light

Echo the warmth of rays of sunshine

Piercing the sky

And touching the heart

Most in need of love

And when this woman’s tears

They fall down like rain

There is within her weeping

Not an ounce of shame

For a strongly grounded woman

Knows that grief

Is the way of shedding

In which we find release

Freeing our souls to embrace

And love

And move on again

After endings

After sorrow

After wounding

Becomimg stronger

Through our pain
