A girl
a woman
a daughter
a sister
a mother
a wife
a friend
a colleague
washing
cleaning
combing her hair
playing
holding
listening
working
tirelessly, silently
to make a space for herself
without losing herself
without altering herself
open and vulnerable
she walks
to allow all to see her
to permeate her being
to know her as she is
and in knowing
to know them selves reflected in turn
to accept her as she is
in turn to cleanse their own being
walking nude, so all may see their nudity
know the strength, the humility
the vulnerability, the pride
of being as creation made her to be
woman
cosmic mother
