White Fire Tiger Woman

White Fire
Tiger Woman
Searing Rage
Crippling Confusion

Containment * Silence
bind the power

Let the fire harden the steel
Let the fire reveal the fear

Let the woman rest with the storm
Let the woman dance out her rage

Become a point
Become a darkness

And when the door of the prison is opened
And the fear that was contained is revealed

We find a woman

                          Fragile
                          Empty
                          and alive.

If she can dissolve herself into the dancing winter branches
If she can become the stones tumbled round by the ocean waves
If she can rest her heart in the molten center of this Earth

Then maybe her fragility can be the fire
her emptiness can be the tiger
and her life can be a tool

for turning anger into action
for turning fear into strength.
