A Woman’s Journey

(Priceless is Her Worth: She is Woman)

The universe itches at the soles of her resilient feet, with its persistent requests Step-by-step she treads tactfully towards the accomplishment of each, without a sigh in sound Even when her shoulders emulate the shape of her burdens, the corners of her eyes crease with a smile whenever she is greeted by the innocence of her kind Her arms, welcoming Her intellect, provocative Her tongue gentles enraged hearts And her beauty, silencing Grown men break into infant tongues in her presence, clumsy over her supremacy Many have competed and all have self-ridiculed, in a quest for her opulence, yet priceless is her worth Her love is nothing short of God: She seeks connection with every soul she meets Found love, first, before knowing who she was In random tragedy she learns hard lessons Through loss of many sentimentals, gains internal sharpening Her eyes widen with awe per universal orbit And with life’s surprising schooling, steps the world with a little bit of wisdom Her footprints unravel mystery Her word speaks comprehension And her exchange rives consciousness Like stitches in assembly on a quilt, every encounter is history recorded, as she journeys with all the living’s aspirations Dreams, their success Mourns their loss Cries their tears And fights for the feeble-minded ones’ sanity It is this essence of woman that propels the world to dreams fulfilled Gives birth to characters of excellence, cultured minds, conquering attitudes, and celebrated spirits Because hers has always been blessed with the power of building not only a home, but also a nation She is the perfect poem Poetry lovers seek She is woman – a victor, not a victim Intsika yesizwe!
