Wild Woman always has a smile,
a bright visage.
She is happy because,
everywhere she looks,
she sees water, hills and forests
that she loves.
She lives in a village
of friendly folk
where she feels at home.
Every day,
there are many reasons
to smile.
But accompanying her,
invisibly,
is her shadow side,
filled with sorrow,
and the memory
of trauma and loss.
She sheds her tears
in private,
keeps her sunny side
out,
in gratitude,
gratitude
for it all.
To Wild Woman,
every day
is a blue sky day.
Wishing Wild Woman many Blue Sky days to come. Hoping that a few will find her smiling on the inside as well.
