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.
