The Menopausal Fire
is the warmth
of me
coming back to life
welcoming the crone
the hag
the wise woman within
to birth me in all my magnificence
The Menopausal Fire
burns all my old stories
in its hearth
so phoenix like
From their ashes
the new can arise
The Menopausal Fire
gives birth to the wholly
The one who waited patiently
for the lessons to be learnt
the experiences to forge
my strength
And time to mature its protege
so that a new warrior
could awaken
to birth a New Story
