Elizabeth Padillo Olesen Poems

Women, women, women
Women of colors and faiths!
Women from all walks
and corners in our one world!
...

I float on the face of the ocean
when I let go of the fear to drown.
I reach the apex of a mountain
when I choose to look ahead
...

The heart of a woman is a well
from that well, one can draw water
to quench one`s thirst;
through it plants and grasses
...

Sleep well and
dream sweet dreams!

Sleep and resign
...

Sleep well and
dream sweet dreams!

Sleep and resign
...

Four dark years without sight of dawn
They march out of daily gloom
from bombs, terror and destruction,
they have to see life that should bloom.
...

It is tender and warm,
full of sweet melodies,
as it summons
the beloved to rest,
...

Come on, let’s light candles
Only light can drive out darkness
in a blank, empty and open space.
...

How gorgeous to watch
when leaves turn gold
And when they fall down
to give life once more
...
