We embrace the power
arising from the center of being
spreading through every facet of life
transmitted through action
in public strife.
Flames of passion purify intent.
We hold this power in our own hands
let it alight on our shoulders
carry it out into the world
building life's content.
A myriad of shoulders
carry bright light
into the black of night
accustomed to carry burden
they shoulder hope.

Written specifically for the contest “Empowering the woman within” [link]
Writing in this crystallized abstraction is a relatively new form of expression for me, it erupted spontaneously 14 months ago and has become an early morning ritual ever since.
This poem will be on the right wing panel of the Triptych “Wings of passion”.
I conceptualized the extended work as a Triptych, because in mythology the feminine always comes in threes, as do the stages of life Virgin/Mother/Crone. The center artwork would be flanked by 2 poems and edged in vertical columns of women’s portraits (on hinged side panels that close in the center, folding the columns of portraits in over the ‘spine’ of hands).
In the Triptych an additional narrative is introduced: Building Community from the power within.
