Is There a Venus in all of us?

venus, the lady of my garden.

whether she is covered in shadows

of the night, or stands in glory

in her pure white porcelain beauty.

She makes me stop and I reach out

and am in awe of her beautiful stature,

from a piece of marble she was

unfolded and created,

How did he know she was there,

Had she felt trapped,

or was she content in knowing that one day

she would emerge 

and be treasured.

i

think it is a process that

we are all works of art

being molded and sculpted

each and every day,

sometimes rough at the edges,

and other days as smooth as silk.

Life can chip away and graze my skin.,

then as tenderly as a kiss

my strength renewed

and I treasure

Me.

............

Until next time,

Have Your Very Best of Days, of you are Canadian

I hope you get a chance to enjoy

the Canada Long Weekend Festivities.
