I found a video on You Tube by accident and was captured in the cadence for the rest of the week. Eventually, today it burst forth as poem. Mind you I am writing a poem after a long time. This time I set it without any punctuation for a deliberate reason. Fluid and water force of woman is represented in the lack of punctuation. There is no visual stop on the flow of words.
Here is the URL to “Baale” – An Anthem of Womanhood
Womanhood and its splendor
I and the woman in me, we look on
Finding ephemeral connections
With Nature’s curves and turns
Deep within the soul’s core
When the being turns into
A magical spirit free to be
Woman and the search
Ends in eternal quest
Catching up to many changes.
She transforms right
In front of you, as a force
Yet she is a gentle mother
Always giving and growing
Insights that make her
Who she truly is!
Her Phoenix transformation
Sets the evening of life
Seem like a peaceful stretch
Life gathers around her
And gracefully falls at her feet
With relief of having reached
She is the last stop
Of every beings’ search
As she sports with Maya
So, is a woman for you,
A mystery that keeps
Change as a constant
