The Many Face

"The Many Face"

Father says she's everywoman,

And many men.

His little queen, he says.

His most priced warrior.

In him, she learnt

To be the man she needs.

Mother says; she's her princess,

Her very own protector.

"You are the fire to the sun", she says.

The rainbow to the storm

Star to the dark night.

In her, she learnt queen virtues.

In them, she learnt who she is.

A bundle of emotions;

Passion, fire, storm, serenity.

Bright as the day

Dark as the night

Dark Knight, white heart.

And whatever the occasion,

She rises to it.

Come feast come war, she rises.

The knight of the day

The star in the night

Armour-clad, jewellery adorned.

In them, she learnt to love her.

Embrace her soul

And like the Kong;

Unashamed, she beats her chest.

Like the peacock,

She fans out her feathers.

They taught her, be one with nature.

Good day, stormy day, dark night.

"Fear not" they say

Like the golden eagle,

You were made for the storm.

Like the killer whale,

Made for deep waters.

You are the many face

And after the gloom

Comes her juices flowing like a river.
