I am woman, <br />Proud and free, <br />More to me, <br />Than what you see, <br />I stand alone, <br />A world apart, <br />Just holding fast, <br />To wayward heart. <br /> <br />I am healer, <br />Poet too, <br />I see colour, <br />Rainbow hue, <br />All at one, <br />With God above, <br />Forever bright, <br />Eternal love. <br /> <br />I am fire, <br />Burning gold, <br />Cold as ice, <br />If truth be told, <br />Just a spark, <br />Light a flame, <br />Glowing embers, <br />Die again. <br /> <br />From the ashes, <br />Rise once more, <br />Just passing through, <br />An open door, <br />Looking back, <br />From up ahead, <br />Now hear the fools, <br />They call me dead. <br /> <br />I am spirit, <br />Pure and bright, <br />Rising up, <br />To meet the light, <br />I enter there, <br />The realms of love, <br />It’s all around, <br />Below, above. <br /> <br />My kindred souls, <br />Enfold me there, <br />And full of joy, <br />I ask them, <br />Where? <br />Should I now be, <br />So bright and free, <br />For I am woman, <br />I am me.<br /><br />Linda Harnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-woman-2/
