woman to woman,
may we allow each other
the freedom to explore
all of the depths and variations
of our own femininity
and not judge or condemn each other
for the layers and directions
of womanhood
we each choose to pass by or take on.
we will not all find and define ourselves
in the same way,
but as we find and define ourselves,
let us not stand in each other’s way.
– butterflies rising
another way that butterflies rising connects to ‘she blooms wild and burns bright’ is through supporting other women and encouraging them to shine as bright as they dream. That energy was the inspiration behind her ‘woman to woman, may we allow each other the freedom to explore’ poem.
