The beauty of a woman is an intangible thing.
Not found in a particular shape or a certain color.
Not the tilt of her eyes
or the curve of her lips.
The beauty of a woman
is found in her holding space
for her sorrows and yours.
The beauty of a woman
is found in her quiet and laughter
her misery and joy.
The beauty of a woman is felt more than seen.
The beauty of a woman is her reflection of the world back to you.
This is a poem and note to the same time. A little bit like a Mantra it seems to me. One I might print, cut out and feature in my diary to keep it in my memory! Well done.

Thank you Aurora! And you’re right it started as a note and sort of morphed into a poem.

This is sheer gorgeousness, Amy. I love it all, but “in her holding space” especially struck me. I wanted to hug it. Thanks so much for adding your wonder to the fest!
