Just for one night, let my body be mine
Let sleep belong to me alone, let me sleep and awake
Just for one day, let me walk barefoot on the grass
With not a thought in my head
No idea of what to do next.
Just for a moment let there be
No obligations, no deadlines, no questions, no nurturing
No answers, no giving.
Healer, friend, leader, lover.
Teacher, wife, daughter, giver.
Just for one moment let me be just me.
Just for a silent, perfect moment
Let me look in the mirror and see only me.
And then Her.
Let me rest, recline in the Name.
Let time be mine
Just for one moment.
Just for one moment
Let me be anything but a woman.
