ENSHROUDED
They say it's to protect your sexuality
But
as your sister I will never see it that way
Will
I ever get to see the beauty of your smile?
Or
are you taking refuge
so
I don't see the despair in your eyes
I see you walking past me on the street
in the oppressive summer heat
I
want you to experience life
where
you are no longer concealed
where
you are free to dance
Why
oh why would any creator
want to enshroud such an exquisite flower?
Your
darkened eyes veil the colours of your soul
I
want to see you allowed free suffrage
and
intellect in a perpetual prisonYou were born a woman
who
gave anyone the right
to
snuff out your light
when
you should
instead
shine bright
It's
your birthright
Your
Liberty

Nicely done, Teresa. There is beauty in all things. To cover it in the jealous sequestration of religion or tradition seems to magnify the beauty of the woman bridled, for it is then our minds fill in the missing (covered) parts with ethereal beauty...
ReplyDeleteThank you DustUp. I think your comment is perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou belong among the ancients in the hall of infinite wisdom. How is it possible to be so vivid and direct, yet wrapped in love and care. You mesmerize, spellbind, educate and influence with your gift. I am grateful to have such a friend and am in total awe. <3<3<3
ReplyDeleteYou are just too kind Diana.
DeleteThis is a very sensitive topic to discuss, something Ive thought about for a long time.
I try to understand all sides of the argument, but in the end my heart and conscience tells
me what is true for me.
Thank you eternally
