For Women who have Resolved to Work for the Common Good of Humanity.
Emergence
The world enclosed and darkened inside my head
Not even dreams materialized as I lie in bed
Discord delivered echoing despair
And yet . . . guided me to your sheltered lair.
I found you, though you were there all along
You entered into my soul as an enchanting song
With leonine magnificence, so noble, so sublime
Intrepid lover of art, beauty, truth and rhyme.
This miracle then cleansed my mind
Reborn to a new life refined.
I laughed and learned to forgive.
My heart opened–I began to live.
And yet what you are is an illusion in time.
This noble ideal can only exist in my mind.
Never to feel your warmth that a Lover knows
Or touch the fabric of your roughened clothes.
But how to create harmony again from sighs.
To feel the exhilaration of the highs
And experience truth from melodious lows.
Not to be played out as a duet but as a solo.
Embraced by the power of this measure
Hearing music of souls joined together
Triumphs in splendor as shimmering sounds
With knowledge and passion that knows no bounds.
I arise from this dream and rebirth
Resolved to become a heroine on earth.
