I am a wild woman

I know, in spite of myself

and in spite of what I've been told

that there's beauty in every age

no matter how old

I am a wild woman

I've learned what it means to be a life bearer

to bear children

to create art

to plant seeds of love

I am a wild woman

from the depths of the dirt underneath my fingernails

to the height of my very soul

I am one with the Earth

the winds from the four directions whisper through my skin

I am a wild woman

and the spirit of every wild woman coalesces in me

for we are each wild women

and we are all the spirit of the wild woman

I will follow the voice in my heart
