Celebrating International Women’s Day with poem, prompt and events sponsored by Peace Action
Listen Child
I read a poem today and decided
I must deed it to some lost, lonely
fatherless child… to brace her
along her stony path …
Listen child, don’t forsake
your aspirations or buy the social OS
Just let this poem play you like a
musician her viola, reframing lonely
into solitude and sanctity
Let it wash you like the spray of whales
Let it drench your body in the music
of your soul, singing pure prana into
the marrow and margins of your life
Let your shaman soul name your muse
Discover the amethyst bliss of words
woven from strands of your own DNA
Yes! I read a poem today and decided
I must deed it to a lost fatherless child
