SISTERS

 To Earth's(Our/My) Sisters--

 Who ~ bravelydance their daily paces,

shineextraordinary light on ordinary places,

where othersfaint or fear to tread,

where laughteris born and tears are shed.

encourageunheard voices to dare, to share--

whose ownstruggling and vulnerability forge the way

for newbeginnings and brighter days;

 Who ~spirited, passionate, seized by wonder

endure timesand worlds so torn asunder--
