there is depth in me that is
much like the sea
and on days of my greatest gleam
i am the woman who manages
...
.................Of this I know
as sky triumphs over rain,
the central theme in man,
of this I know

you are quiet today and i do not
ask you the origin of such silence,
black and smoky and devouring
even my own sound now

She's our neighbor, a quite fussy one.
She cuts her grass twice a week,
scarcely giving the blades chance to grow,
and it is the trimmest yard on the block,
...
We sit amid a growing darkness.
It is growing in me, you have no idea.
I look in your eyes, they are the eyes
of so much love.

My neice just had a baby.
My neice is only 15 years old.
We warned her about unprotected sex

Depth Of A Woman
there is depth in me that is
much like the sea
and on days of my greatest gleam
i am the woman who manages
what some may say is the impossible
a son, a daughter, i have them all
and nothing prevents me from
keeping them calm, in great winds,
in the roughest rain,
the sight of my eyes, the searing pain
of life's hard road,
it all bulds to a glorious strength,
the strength of the women before me,
it is the depth of a worldly woman.
