the power of softness

The softest part of a woman's body
is her heart Housed beneath armor of bones and flesh Her power lies within her chest On the outside, set to face a world of challenges and daring a woman's softest flesh has equal strength Without a single word spoken Her eyes can command action There is a softness that yields strength perfectly designed, no matter shape or size gives comfort with grace cradle a distraught spirit with her most powerful softness beneath it A woman's breast praised to be the epitome of femininity beyond that, few see true matriarchy of humanity At courtship of love breasts are an enticement attracting suitors to complete the other half of a circle At birth of child Breasts represent life giving forth the essence to nurture building of a body As days turn to years a subtle change appears the once seductress and mother becomes the seat of power |
Breasts then become a symbol
of comfort, stability and strength beyond mounds of soft flesh and once dew filled eyes Between shoulders that have carried burdens of life and death Ahead of a back bone so strong it carries secrets Her body yields the power of softness Relieves children of heart ache comforts friends during sorrows spreads warmth with the closeness of embrace And yet There are times that ravages of life have no consideration of the delicate soft mounds of a woman's breasts This does nothing to diminish strength she represents her fight is never over her light is never taken While her flesh may be altered in the name of survival her softest power will always remain for a woman's greatest asset isn't in the flesh seen to represent what she is A woman's greatest asset is in who she is beyond the ravages of flesh The power of softness October 27, 2013
