Happy Women's Day

A poem written some time back, dedicated to all women...


I am and I have been
I am now and I am yesterday

I have seen time passing
And I have moved alongside time

I have seen the world change
And changed with the world

I have lived my life - Not always graciously
But always determined to make it

And here I am now
Been there done that

I see the world as it is around me
But it does not affect me anymore

I am at peace
At peace with myself and the world around me

I am content
And I live my life as it was the last day of my life

I am here and there and tomorrow

I am past, present and future

I AM

And then La Loba whispered all that is lost can be found, all that is dead can be resurrected. So my first task was to learn to understand within me that I should let to live and what I should let to die.  And in the process I should walk through the inner and outer worlds collecting my bones. And when my skeleton was complete, La Loba would sing about it and bring back the creature, my soul indestructible. Many nights passed until I find all my bones. Many expeditions to the underworld. Many ...

It has been a year...

I can't believe it has been over a year since my last  post. Truth to be told I did not even write much... Sometimes I would take my book and pen and sat there and started scribbling and merely ended up with some diary style writing, not what I wanted. But what did I want to write about? I don't know... there are many stories I felt needed to be told and yet, who cares? Does anyone care if the stories were written, I don't think so... So back again, why write? For the past few years my little black book was my confidant, my best friend,  my soul speaking, my safety net, my tears, my tantrums, my thoughts and prayers and sometimes the only way to keep on going....! So now after every tear had been shed, every prayer had been prayed there is this emptiness, nothing more needed to be said, it is all there in my little black books; so you see writing was therapy for me.  I needed to write in order to heal and bring perspective back into my life..  And still...
