Mother of the World
Crystal gown with sun behind
a spray of water
on a summer’s day,
rainbows of stars
exploding in the eyes
lacy robe, veil of translucent light.
Profile with head inclined
every woman’s face her own
power in her love and care
eyes focused on the earth
where the blood of her children flow,
sun’s rays through tears, the fiery show.
