I am a Wild Woman

I am a Wild Woman

I know, inspite of myself

and in spite of what I've been told

that there's beauty in every age

no matter how old

I am a Wild Woman

I've learned what it means to be a life bearer

to bear children

to create art

to plant seeds of Love

I am a Wild Woman

from the depths of the dirt underneath my fingernails

to the height of my very Soul

I am one with the Earth

the winds from the four directions whisper through my skin

I am a Wild Woman

and the Spirit of every Wild Woman coalesces in me

for we are each Wild Women

and we are all the Spirit of the Wild Woman

I will follow the oVice in my Heart

I am a Wild Woman

I sing from my Heart

I Dance with the Stars

I howl at the Moon

I Love uncontrollably

I am a Wild Woman

from the deepest, darkest, most Sacred part of me

I am fearless

I cry in Strength

I open my arms to the sky and welcome the rain

I am a Wild Woman

I Nurture, Love and Protect

I stand, strongly, silently, sweetly for my brothers

I walk dutifully, prayerfully, joyfully upon the mother

and I will not be stopped

I am a Wild Woman.
