clothed with the sun

woman of consequence
lady of shadows
lay with me
stay with me
chase me away
give to my loneliness
the strength of your weakness
fill me with gratefulness -
for guidance I pray

to walk as you have
ten thousand places
near to my own
in silence - my friend
leave with me
grieve with me
I – you becoming
one as was written
with and within

woman of tenderness
lady of edges
grant me for courage
the song of your soul
chapter and verses
the melody changing -
darkness made light
with the colors
of home

woman of wilderness
lady of sorrows
help me to hear
every cry born of need
lay with me
stay with me
I – you becoming
strength of my weakness
help me to see
