An ode to female athlete

Her soft, gentle, big eyes

full of hard, sharp determination,

Her long, supple limbs

flexible like a willow switch

full of steely, sparkling current,--

the current of life, beauty, determination

carries the ineffaceable smile

under the stern, competitive mask,

She runs faster than

the divine feminine undulations and

exciting wavy fickleness,

She jumps higher and longer

than what the masculine eyes estimate,

She pushes, lifts, heaves, stretches

better than the man’s expectations,

She is far more than the

weight of domestic routine in patriarchy,

She is a tigress, lioness, majestic queen,

She’s the dancing Shakti on Shiva’s head,

She is the thunderbolt

in a dark rumbling mass of cloud,

She’s the spark of life in a stone,

The wind, the earth, the fire, the water

cascading in His akash.
