Ladies of the borrowed time,
Mistresses of undemanding,
Mothers bearing down the twine
To faithful understanding,
Sisters of this Earth and sky,
Daughters threading needles of
Life verifying,
Girls who hearts ignore —
I hear you roar.
Do know:
Together we’ll weave words
From crying.
For the dVerse quadrille challenge: roar

I should have read this before I replied to your comment on my blog. Your comments make more sense now. Yes, it is about weaving the new together through our tears. Thank you.

Yes, absolutely. Finding a voice is so important – and yet, so difficult. I agree with your idea that we weave this new world together.

Thank you Sarah! I’m glad you find it so — we are all of us, no matter what we’re born — the product of a woman’s womb, and, really, literally, her body, which provides ALL the building blocks for a baby. ANY baby. So, yeah, it should be evidently clear that women’s voices must be found, and heard, and understood. 🙂
Here’s to finding words, together!

Beautiful wording for such an important statement. The girls must, must know that they’re hearts are heard, that we share the tears and that so many lifelines , woven from just those tears exist to grab on to – including this one. Thank you.

Thank YOU for such an excellent comment. Yes, girls should be helped to know that they are heard, that they always have a voice, at the very least with other women who can speak for them and support them till they are able to find their own voice and speak for others in turn. Many lifetimes woven, many realities of suppression and oppression and silencing, which continue to this day in all too many places and communities around the world. Together, women (and the men who support women, and the boys who can watch the men who support women and learn from them), can weave stories and words that heal and hold.
