Wild Woman Wakes Up


Image by Catlin Welz-Stein

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.

    Best wishes for your compilation.

  8. The Wild Woman stirs from her winter's slumber, awakening with the shift of wings .... to offer her tidings ....
    so we wait, in anticipation, to listen and hear, to know her truths and words ....

    may you be blessed in translation/transcription Sherry :)
