The body of a womanΒ 
as though twilight shadows lengthenedΒ 
and a glimpse into the woes
washed by the rain.

The body of a woman
as clouds that descend without a thought
and a glimpse into past resolutions
as changes in the sea.

The body of a woman
as memory belonging to another lifetime
and a glimpse into unfaltering hope
etched upon her heart.

I glanced at myself in the mirror,
grateful for the body and soul
that would carry on to be an example
to the world.
