As In Everything You Are Woman Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Rika Cilliers)

When in the distance the sun does tremble
the whole morning is open and silent,

when the morning comes with sun and dew
and I watch you for a mere moment,

where through the threadbare years you remain girl
and moment-by-moment I do love you more.

Between us all of life is laid open,
in every moment there is a place for you

and when you do kneel at my feet
I do love you in my heart, spirit and body

as in everything you are woman,
the one to who I do look in wonder.
