Women Do
Jesus could walk on water,
But we walk across forever
If it is for love.
Women do, you know.
Walk on fire and broken glass too,
With shattered collarbones
From being held too tight
In love.
We wait.
Trusting fate.
And love.
He could heal the lepers too
Could he teach them to love themselves?
As we do, for love?
See beauty in potential and with our breath held
Wait for it to grow?
As we do
For love?
He suffered greatly. I know this, I do,
But nothing changed. For all that he knew
The outcome was not good.
We understood.
Women do you know.
Keep ourselves frozen in ice
David Blaine has a clue
What we go through.
Waiting
For love.
To return
Solar, soul, solstice
Return.
For Love.
For one crumb of affection
Or warmth in the voice
Or any sign
Of Love.
He came back anyway. After all that.
When he could have sat at the right hand,
Cities of gold and all that,
Given up
In Love.
He came back.
And so do we.
Women do you know.
In love.
