Women's Journeys - An Empowerment Place
Poetry

My Inner Voice
By Michelle Duncan

There is a little voice inside my head that echoes words of wisdom said. "Honey, listen to your heart" you'd say, "What do Dads know anyway?"

Join Hearts and
..Of Mind
..
By Rochelle Jourdan

The World is changing, can you feel it? -- The Universe is calling, can you hear it? -- Unity is at your front door, will you let it in?

So many names, so many faces -- Somehow they all seem the same -- Same intentions, different tactics -- When do they stop playing the game?

One's Own Body
By Cindy Duhe

Child inside, kicking and batting her hopes and dreams while nobody knows, but she.

Many Women
By Katrina Miller

Many Women
in different shape,
gather the heart's work...
together in one place.

Autumn Tides
By White Raven

I always thought that autumn -- Was a tide that blew life away -- Sweeping the leaves from the trees -- in a torrent of coloured display.

I Wonder
By Daija Sunshine Marcisz

I wonder why I am in a world filled with hate and fighting;  I wonder why everyone doesn't want to like one another; I wonder why we don't take the time to get to know other people better; I wonder why we can't live in peace and harmony?

The Eyes
By Nicki Torr

Eyes followed him around the room. -- Eyes from a forgotten past. -- Would he look... Would he notice...

By Ritha Wilcox

Sometimes, I lift my head quickly -- Startled by the contemplation -- Occasionally, the sound of the rain -- Brings the thought --Frequently, the scent of wood smoke in winter

She Hides and Reality
By Elizabeth Estabrooks

She hides -- Frightened frozen -- A child, no more. -- His breathing fills the house -- The only sound. -- His presence felt.

Reality. -- Senses make it real. -- If the cabbage smells -- the silk is soft -- the taste is sharp -- the light is white...

Rain
By P. Poore
Sitting on the porch in the dark --  listen to the storm coming ...with my heart pounding

 

Freedom
By BJ Lindquist

The songs of yesterday are heard -- through the minds of us today -- chanting words of prayers gone by -- or rejoicing of that day

By Kelly - age 14

You took everything to heart. -- All I did was tell you how I felt. -- Only, as soon as I told you something changed -- You no longer made my heart melt.

Lady Patricia
By Kristine Campiola

What a pretty face -- You look like a fragile soul -- What brought you to this place? -- You say life extracts its toll? -- You have a brilliant mind -- What choices should I make?

I deserve to be known
By Cynthia Lohr

I deserve to be known -- that which is animal, internal, -- serene yet sensual; -- I deserve to be known, -- that which is miniscule, hesitant,                                                   deceptively complex...

She Is Me and
In the Quiet Time

By Vicky Deckrosh

I Am the Air you breathe, -- the breeze which kisses your face -- I Am She

And in the quiet time I walk, -- stillness envelopes me like a blanket....

My Rambling Man Is a Gambling Man
By Carol Garrett

My Rambling man, is a gambling man -- He says he's rambling home -- but home is gone -- His mama's dying -- His sister's crying

The Shadow Man,
Children Learn,
A Moment in the Morning,
Family Outing
and Parent to Child

By Tori Friedlander

Children Learn -- and rules are taught -- even in silence. -- Smiles never reach the eyes.

Morning lethargy, -- warm beneath the covers, -- muscles frozen in repose, -- I stare without sight, -- and reclaim myself from oblivion.

Da Majiang!
By Alena Tansey

I learned a new game. -- Or rather, remembered an old one. -- Old mind against new, Wisdom against wit.

A collection of Poetry
By Shelley B. - age 13

Her love is unending,
His heart is slowly mending,
They're an unlikely couple,
But their love is supple,

My hands are so cold...
By Tigerlilie

I had popcorn for  dinner
So what do you care?
Say, I'd like to lose 5 pounds
And for moments you stare
