Sisterhood

In this moment

We know why we are here.

We don’t know what we’ll say

Or if we’ll even talk

Or if we’ll dance, or sing, or pray

And yet we sense

We will support each other.

We each will ask

For what will feed us now.

We each will find

Within our yet unspoken wisdom

The truth that meets each other’s present need.

We each will rise

Impelled by what’s required

To know our selves as capable,

As bright providers

Of what sustains us while alone

As while together.

We are, in this shared role,

Our greatest treasure.

So we flow upwards, outwards,

Splendid wings unfurled,

A sisterhood to overcome the world.
