The Heart of a Woman


by Georgia Douglas Johnson
 
The heart of a woman goes forth with the dawn,
As a lone bird, soft winging, so restlessly on,
Afar o'er life's turrets and vales does it roam
In the wake of those echoes the heart calls home.

The heart of a woman falls back with the night,
And enters some alien cage in its plight,
And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars
While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars.

Awesome!

    1. Thank you. However, I do not aspire towards achievement, I only aspire to be in a state of Being. I haven't got there yet ...

    I appreciate your modesty and also agree the concept it is all nothing but journey. Achievements are only illusions.
