Woman’s Cycle

Red rivers flow.
We celebrate life.

We know

the secrets
locked in our systems
locked in our blood
and hearts and minds.

The cycles of life
contained in our souls
and our bodies
continue to wind
like the clockmaker’s hand
winds the universal watch.

Cycles upon cycles
the flow is unstoppable.

On the path we must trod.

The journey keeps us aware
of the movement
of God.
