Defiance…-Eric Syrdal

She is bruised
but
She is not broken
She coils
around her heart
like the warm earth
embraces the seed
protecting it
from the frozen world above
gathering her strength
until the spring
when she shall rise
and the world shall bear witness
to her beauty
in bright vermillion
courage

 

*authors note: Another tribute to all the brave female hearts I am privileged to know.
