The Dangerous Woman

The Dangerous Woman

Walking her path with love woven into her locks

That flow freely as a spring river

Carrying the stories of old between her breasts

The milk of tales from past days

Words of spirit that hold the nourishment of the earth

Growing the children with light from ancestral heart song

Torchbearer of a thousand women that stand before and beside her

The blood of the land in their wombs

Holding the memories around the fire

That burns with ancient knowledge

You wonder why she is called the dangerous woman

Let me tell you

She rises from the dust of battles fought

To reclaim her land

Following the cry of her mother to bear arms

Listening to the whispers of her grandmother

That are rooted in rich soil

Holding the hands of her sisters with defiance

In unity

To take back that which has been stolen

These women that listen to each other

Holding that space for the old stories to birth once again

That tell of their power

Rising as mountains from the belly of fire and tears

As one
