Mystical Power

There is a mystical power in the flow of a woman’s body
She bleeds and creates
She has a ceremony of her own once a month
Creator has seen her fit to brings souls into this universe
She is the bringer of life, even if she is unable or chooses not to
She is nonetheless sacred
Celebrate the mystic without shame
There is no shame in the power to create life

hello Irene,

it is very nice to meet you. welcome to Neopoet!
your title is most intriguing, I like it very much. you are absolutely right about there being no shame in having the power to create life. your pacing is good. good language usage, too.
