Revolution

Come out from hiding, Little Girl.
You are safe here.
You can run with the wind.
Play in the grasses and
Name the birds.

.

Come out from hiding, Little Girl.
Laugh out loud at bad jokes.
Listen to forbidden stories.
Praise the sun and kiss the moon.
Dance barefoot under the stars.

Come out from hiding, Little Girl.
Lay in your own open arms.
Speak the words you never dared to whisper.
Wash your face in the rain.
Rejoice in each breath you take.

Come out from hiding, Little Girl.
Curse like a witch.
Make love to the flowers.
Roll up your pant legs and wade in the river,
Rebirthed in the waters of nature, the waters of life.

Come out from hiding, Little Girl.
Roll the stone away and
Eat from the whole world’s table.
Drink from the fountain of youth,

And be the old woman you dream of.

    Beautiful. It reminds me of some things I should be doing. Some things that I used to do but let wander out of my grasp.
