As You Are A Woman (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

As You Are A Woman (Free Verse Sonnet)



(after Elisabeth Eybers)

All the seasons are reflected in the yearly tides
as they come and go through the months
and in you there is a speechless silence
where in love you do stand loose from this
when hatred and violence comes with destruction
where people do madly gambol day and night,
in your there are tranquillity and care and a delight
as if no misery is happening in this world,
even death sets to itself a border
where for the future you procreate children,
are loving and benevolent to each fellow human being
and you stretch out your hand virtuously in life
as if you have been protecting immortality for years,
where you are raising your children to the will of God.
