the poem
My Beloved!
This is your day.
Keys to the kingdom.
All those times you envisioned yourself apart, holding all that sadness and grief.
Peering in through that window at the lives of those other--well-mothered--girls.
Missing out.
Deficient.
​
There is another perspective.
​
You feel it now, don't you?
​
Remember.
​
Remember how you had to make yourself small to fit between the window and that camellia tree behind you?
​
Yes. That tree.
​
You can feel even now its branches touching your right shoulder. Your cheek.
​
It's always been there. That wild just over your shoulder.
​
Do you know now who you are?
​
Can you feel the majesty as you turn around, Queen, and step toward who you really are? Who you were always meant to be?
​
Wild Woman
​
Power surges through your body, your limbs, your soul.
As you remember who you truly are.
​
It's time to rewild.
Turn around, woman.
Woman Rewild
