She’s Going to Win She Says With a Grin

She weighs in

Ready to leave behind

Dead memory
Old places
Empty face entanglements

Meant for madness

Of course

But she is not overtaken

Strong and fit

She empties out her sadness

Forgotten tears

Pathetic situations

Deep heartaches

Crazier conundrums

And wounds that seared

A cat of nine lives

She’s knocked them all out

Not on technicality

But on fight…

Every hit she landed

Landslide wins

And scars to prove it

Cuts, brokenness

And heartache

Left her grateful-handed

Who is this that challenges?

Who calls herself to bleed?

Her agreesor

Will it pulverize her

Throw the towel and make her ceed?

Knock her down

Knock her out

Make her crazy

Will she steady?

… We will see

Seen with a stride

Honor is on her side

Wonder at her fingertips

Throwing magic

Love she lifts

Lifting a hypnotic punch

She directs the hit

With a sorcerers madness

And her brand

Of divinity

Divine child-like-edness

Grateful, grateful she whispers

And she steps into the ring

Again, for the very first time

She begins…

Smiling

She says she’s going to win.

I recently came across this article and was intrigued. I could visualize the imagery of the sea from the writing and could feel the emotions attached to gaining the prize of something so beautiful. Then in a second serendipitous discovery, I came across photos of AMA Divers – Japanese “women of the sea” (more about that here). The images seemed to be perfect, so magical that I decided to edit the text just a bit and change the story from being about a man diver to a woman diver to better compliment the images. What a beautiful thing to see a women with strength enough to go for what is most desired and precious. This was such an inspiration to me, I had to share with you – enjoy!
Love and hugs,

The woman dived into the clear water. Down and down she swam, holding her breath, the water seemingly turning darker the deeper she went – until she reached the bottom and visibility was almost null. But the woman was not deterred. She knew what she was looking for, and her skilled hands hunted around on the sea bed until her fingers had pried open the hard shell and liberated the precious wonder.
Swimming up was strenuous, the woman kept visualising that first gulp of wonderful, vital air – she tired and struggled, but still she kept on, gripping her valuable cargo with fingers that would not, could not let go.

Bursting through the surface and finally, exquisite oxygen filled her depleted lungs.

“Why do you need to go so deep and take so many risks?” said her friend back on the beach. “I found five pearls just over there in the bay, and you’ve only got one.”
“Just one”, agreed the woman: “but look at it”.
There on the palm of her hand, lay the most lustrous, perfectly round pearl – emitting a very slight, barely distinguishable pink sheen.

Her friend was stunned into silence.

The woman very simply said: “This hallowed treasure is very rare. Only one who is willing to plunge into the murky depths deserves to find it”.
