Woman's Day?

 

Can you pour the ocean

     into a thimble?

Can you honor Woman

     in one Day?

The whole lifespan

    of Lord Shiva

is just a breath in her

    eternity.

Earth spins on the spine

     of her stillness.

Planets circle their stars because

     her darkness is awake.

The sun drips from the edge of her bowl

     that is always overflowing.

We drank from her before

     we were born,

trillions of galaxies

     suspended like dust

in the golden beam

     of her gaze.

When She closes her eyes,

     there is fullness.

When she opens them,

     we dance.
