~air of contentment
the heart of a woman
is deeply rooted
like a wild violet
and to know
the way berries warm inside a
hand
to watch vines unfold a thousand
blossoms
see poppies spread wide
open
to know this
is the only wisdom
worth knowing

thanks
from what i know personally of wild violets in my area, they have a very dense, fibrous root system. that seemed like a good metaphor to the heart of a woman! thanks for stopping in for a read! :)

Nice one Ink Artist
I think its wonderful for a female poet to articulate what it is to be a woman. Especially for a man's edification.
