The Elemental Woman

The Elemental Woman stands tall as the proudest tree
Deriving beauty from wisdom as plants derive their life from beneath
The Elemental Woman is a noble woman
A being of faith and kindness
She knows when to follow her own truth
Letting it guide her against the current
And when to let go, accept and just follow the flow
The Elemental Woman is a paragon of generosity
And a beacon of diversity
Her gifts - patience and knowledge
She showers down with glee
Upon those who’ll have a listen and try to understand
The Elemental Woman is like the shifting sand
Scattered about, but always together
The Elemental Woman was built to weather
She is forged into courage like iron
As hard as need be when strength must be seen
And a furious storm when one greets her with scorn
The Elemental Woman has a strong flame inside
Burning more brightly than all the stars in the sky
In passion, she is heat
Making desire concrete
The Elemental Woman reacts with frost when stung
By the barbs of careless words in her direction flung
She is a swirl of air - laughing, free and breezy
Expanding like a patch of earth when she needs to stretch
To mold herself like clay
To the demands of every day
The Elemental Woman is light shone through a prism
Unleashing from within, a spectrum of creative vision
The Elemental Woman is all around the world
In blue jeans or burqas, in high heels or flats
Of different creeds and colors, from this nation or that
For The Elemental Woman is one vast sea of life
Flowing up, as vapor, to one united sky.
