Some women wear their
Sensuousness like
Sequined magenta gowns,
All sparkling strut and stride,
Pulsating like a neon sign,
All "Hey, world, here I am!"
As a mystified and impressed
Observer, these women seem
To be about extreme attitude
And absolute confidence,
Willingness to be out in the open,
Embracing complete acceptance
About whatever is unequivocally true.
From 40s, 50s, 60s Midwest,
Still searching for middle
Ground of self-acceptance and
Visibility, I aspire to my own
Sense-of-self, my own version of
Letting my inner light reflect outward.
In the meantime, I laud and
Appreciate women who let their
Eminence shine brilliantly, intently,
And without self-conscious apology.
You go, woman! Roar and shine!
