Every Woman Ii... For William O Everson Poem by r james sterzinger

every woman
I make no judgement
large small fat thin
old, young
though not too young
(I am an old man)
I accept as a beautiful landscape
a work of art to reach
to touch
to be gazed upon

every woman
a rosary I wish to pray
a set of beads I wish to tell
with aching fingers...
a sacred set of mysteries

every woman
a beautiful field I wish to roll in
a field of flowers
of mown hay
a harvest to be taken in for winter

every woman
a warm summer pond to lie into
to be held caressed
every gully every turn
a new sense of wonder

still

every woman a rosary
sacred silent deep
an offering from God
to God a whisper
of a promise
