The Girl Within
October 11, 2006Peace.
Peace She says to me.
Peace to your soul.
I am the beauty in the leaf.
I am the echo in a baby’s laugh.
I am your Mother.
I am the joy in the heart that beats.
I am the free woman.
I am the one who breaks the shackles of oppression.
You are my hands and feet.
gaian prayer – jason clark
The girl within
Ebony
is not chained by burdens of grief
She is young and joyous and filled with hope.
Charming and absolutely centred!;-D
as I have oft written,
of the girl within each woman,
I may have glimpsed Ebony’s soul
I’ve only heard tales of the woman – the girl looks pensive but ‘charming’ – this boat’s chock full of people who have come as someone else.
I met a man
who when he stood beside me
suddenly became the boy again
“Ah”, thought I, and he’s still here for me
still making me smile
though his cronology is even longer than mine!
Without the girl within I could never have built Soul Food and have such a palpable sense of soul transmitting through cyber waves. Thanks Fran, Jan, Faucon and Monika.
And what a gal you have within!! Her vivacity, sheer sense of joy, imagination and zest for life…it’s all so contagious!!!
