The Heart of a Woman

Tender and Sweet
Open and Complete
Though life bruises and cracks
The heart of a woman is the essence of her being.

A double edged sword that is held in the body
Yearning forward and then holding back
The way is treacherous attempting to not be broken.

To love a man is to love another world
The woman’s journey to partake in that world but
Not be swallowed.

To leave the love of her life, a man from a different world
The ultimate price
For Wholeness

To leave the man in the other world
The rite of passage
The cost of an Awakened Heart.
