For She Who Is Being Tried

 

 

 

 

 

What does she know who has not been tried?

The woman who has traveled lonely paths

knows how find her way.

She who has weathered losses

gains compassion.

Tested, she multiplies her resourcefulness.

 

She who has not been tried, what does she know?

She who has been surprised

abounds with vigilance.

Betrayed, she recognizes what is true.

Scarred, she finds her resilience.

Her illusions gone, she deepens.

 

O woman, you follow a spiral,

rounding and revisiting.

The furrow you plow

is your own life. Reach deep within

the soil you've loosened -

draw forth is richness.

Be strengthened by the grace

of your experience.
