Empower Poems

Redirect

Sometimes our best intentions

miss the impossible target-perfection

Sometimes our best efforts

leave us hopeless and contemplating defection

 

Sometimes our goal

of being everything to everybody

misses the target so that we feel

we give very little to anybody

 

Oftentimes we must stop

to refuel our bodies and our minds

so that when we are engaged in lifting up

we do not leave ourselves

Themis’ Echo: Women as Architects of Change

In the ethereal realm, where Themis holds sway,
A cosmic ballet of justice, a metaphorical play.
Yet, in our earthly sphere, reflections intertwine,
Empower women—the catalysts of progress divine.

Like Themis, with scales, a celestial display,
Let women’s worth twirl within the sunlit ray.
Respect and recognition, whispered dreams unfold,
A symphony of progress, a story yet untold.

As Themis adorns the sacred

These Hands

Our hands, through them they have led us to magnifcence.
Perfectly constructed. The thumb, essential, part of the team but not like the others.
The leader? Maybe.
These hands that were raised to be heard, to clear the smoke so we could see.
These hands that made their mark so others could too.
The hands that sheltered your eyes so

Premium MemberThe Breaking Chains

The chains of custom, long they bind,
A girl's potential is left behind.
But voices rise, a chorus strong,
To break the chains, where they belong.

They fight for justice, hand in hand,
Against the wrongs, across the land.
For equality, a right to claim,
Their voices rise, a burning flame.

The breaking chains, a symbol bold,
Of dreams and futures, yet untold.
They fight

Premium MemberThe Open Book

A world of words, a boundless space,
Lies open wide, with gentle grace.
Within its pages, stories unfold,
Of dreams and journeys, yet untold.

A girl approaches, eyes alight,
To quench her thirst, for knowledge bright.
The open book, a magic door,
To worlds unseen, she'll explore.

On each page she turns, a seed is sown,
Of wisdom's bloom, a future grown.
The open book,

Premium MemberEmpower

So many things are out of our control, making it hard to just go with the flow. It can be maddening to bang our head against the wall, thinking that we can change it all. Society’s view is not going to evolve overnight despite how much we put a fight. Not saying to retreat and

Premium MemberEmpower Your Soul To Soar

Written: July 08, 2023
______________________________________________________________
Travel, oh wanderer, travel afar,
Distance away from the limitation's bar,
In higher dimensions, we shall ascend,
Where transcendence and freedom blend.

Beyond the confines of earthly bounds,
We seek a realm where joy resounds.
With exuberance and ebullience, we'll soar.
Unleashing the spirit vibrant roar

Through majestic mountains, we shall tread,
Where nature's beauty leaves us awestruck and fed,
The crisp

Premium MemberKnowing Nothing

My Math Teacher said:
I know how to teach you about 1
but can't guide you into comprehending None--0

A more sacredly co-arising binomial relationship,
less traveled bipartisan path
to know Zero rises positive toward full future
and suppresses negative
degenerating back
reversing toward empty non-numeric past.

In any not qualitative
and non-quantitative way
that would leave you
or anyone else
with a final co-binary qual-quantity
healthy quark space

Premium MemberWinter Empower

Winter fetches a hillock of the wind and downpour.
Exacerbating people to mislay their blight core.
Peculiar demesne keepers are utterly aroused. 
While tiny dwellings, slums are bulldozed.

Flush breaks out among the poorest of the poor.
Thoroughly jiggling, they shiver in the spongy cure.
None of the people around me appear to descry them.
They are enduring dull, agonizing demise

Premium MemberFinding Home

I feel stuck in a web of moving on
to leave home behind.

I want to be free of safe turtle shells,
to commune with naked nature
including human,
divine,
humane,
wombmain
not excluding any egostrong stability,
identity,
fragility
as if intolerable
to civil integrity.

I need to grow free,
to feel communion 
within
without
above
below
for and of all nature/spirit souls,
timelessly copresent in- and ex-carnations
explicitly remembered
and vaguely
curiously
transparently
vulnerably forgotten
fuels of felt fame

Lets Empower Women

Lets burn all differences,
Lets stand by their sides,
Lets let them make our nation pride,
Lets let them climb the Himalayan heights,
Lets let them make glory runs ,
Lets let them bring trophies or cups,
Lets accept it that they are equal to us.
