her words ~ someday

for women

who risk losing ~

their heart
writing

someday
there'll be faded
photographs of a girl
who thought she could help save the world
with words


someday
her words will be
read aloud for children
of her child's children's children
listening


someday
wide-eyeing her
words  .disbelieving descendants
marvel at grandmother's
moxie


someday
through pen flowing
across time her mind splayed
wide open for all to see
her heart


someday
creating heart
while walking in beauty
won't be fantasy but a way
of life
