Wild Woman is stirring,
stretching a dusty wing.
She is preparing to make a journey
through the heart of spring.
She's no fool
- though she can be fooled -
and she has teachings to bring.
I place my fingers on the keys,
her words to transcribe and keep.
I utter one small request to her:
please don't go back to sleep.
And off we go. My hope is that Wild Woman will show up during the month of April and I will have a book of Wild Woman poems at its end, third in the trilogy: When You Love a Wild Thing, Songs to Mother Earth and Wild Woman Poems.
Linking joyfully with the Imaginary Garden With Real Toads, whose prompt today is: Fool.
Amazing! dust your wings. can't wait :D
ReplyDeleteLove it Sherry, we must all be foolish to do this poem a day thing, lol...
