Can you Embrace the Fierce? Poetry by Joan Ellen Gage
Mary--Embracing the Fierce
Good morning! Are we feeling fierce, today? No, well, read on and embrace the fierce!
Fierce
Can you do
it?
Can you
embrace the fierce,
bring it to
the surface
of your
being?
Your wounded
warrior heart
beats, it
has survived
in spite of
you.
It is time
to claim
this aspect
of yourself,
to integrate
it into your existence.
We are all
Viking daughters,
armed, ready
to do battle,
surrendering
to no one,
not even
ourselves.
The ancient
one lies within.
Awaken her.
Awaken the
power
Of your
fierce warrior self.
by Joan Ellen Gage

Women Who Serve; a poem for caregivers
WOMEN WHO SERVE
Daily, they bring me
The stories of their
Lives and loves
These tales speak
To me on a very
Personal level, as
These stories may
Evolve to include mine
These women tell me
Of lives spent
Taking care of everyone
Beginning with raising children
Encompassing perhaps twenty years
And of their being a helpmate
To their spouses, and doing
The never-ending household chores
But, these years of child-rearing
Were closely followed with
The care taking of these women’s
Failing parents; a role reversal where
The parents seemed
To become the children
This was a difficult duty
But it was a duty done out of love
Lastly, the women spoke of
The deterioration of their spouses
Many of these women
Had no funds for outside help
And often were frail themselves
But they bravely served
At their spouses sides
And offered up their
Often-thankless support
Waging a war until the end
There are no purple hearts
For care-giving, and no memorials
This is the reality of women’s lives
This may become your existence and mine
Please, learn by this lesson
This is our time; fly and be free!
