From the tiny little girls
to young beautiful brides
to mothers to grandmothers
women fly on their dreams.
Women are angels –
gifted with the wings
glide along with the wind
and move with the waves.
When the blows of harsh words
break the wings of our dreams
we simply continue the flight
silently, because we cannot stop
and the journey never ends.
We keep on soaring high
on the wings of imagination
moving along with the wind
waving like bamboo trees
without spine
without any ground under our feet!
Dreaming and just dreaming
dreaming about what is not there
and when the reality hits our hearts
bleed inside our body silently
no one sees us no one feels the pain
thinking this is not happening to us
We are just dreaming!
Soft masks of fresh smiles
we put on our lips each morning!
As if the dark nights were only in the dreams!
The bamboo trees dance with the wind
and women fly on their dreams!
