SHE by Vuyokazi S Yonke

She

Golden sun rises with her smile
Constant as layer of blue sky high
Nurturing as Kalahari desert rains
Unmoving as Kilimanjaro plains
Grounded as ancient evergreen trees
Gentle as a tropical sea breeze
Enchanting as elusive blue moon
Beautiful as a fragile rosebud in June
Resourceful as Queen of the jungle
Challenging as an unsolved puzzle
Fierce as crashing Transvaal thunder
Strong as voices unified together
Precious as blushing pink sapphire
Warm as winter's smouldering fire
Natural as bountiful Mother Earth
Valuable as each life giving breath

Daughter
Sister
Friend
Lover
Wife
Mother

Goddess
Queen
Empress
High Priestess
Princess

She rises carrying the hopes of humanity
She smiles conveying joys of femininity
All her efforts encompassed with humility
The beauty within you and in me
The golden sunrise shines with her smile.
She
