Like Aged Redwood

Like Aged Redwood
Rise woman in your restlessness
Take solace in the strength
You covet;
For in your glory
If it be you alone who see,
You know not any man
Shall rescue thee.
Stand tall and firm,
Like aged redwood,
Leaves gracefully blowing
Upon the winds of change,
Be caged not like wild cat in capture,
For within you is
No soft tamed feline
To those who would make prey upon you.
Do not be ruled by fears
Meant to blind you,
For within your heart
You see truth and beauty.
Yours is the pinnacle of love’s creation
Let no pinion tie you down.
c. Pamela J. Leavey 1993
