Woman, a poem by Shoshana Vegh at Spillwords.com

Woman

Woman

written by: Shoshana Vegh

 

A woman is like a mighty branch,
Her limbs stretch far in all directions.
Water her with love,
And she will blossom,
She will thrive.

Woman is the beautiful pillar of our lives,
She is beauty, she is hope.
She is created by man,
But she is not his possession—
She is love,
She is health.

A woman cries out, a towering tree,
A tree that embraces the sky,
Its roots deep in the earth.
A woman, whose life force
Is a thousand times greater than a man’s,
At peace within her,
Both trees of Eden,
Growing together in harmony.

אִשָּׁה

written by: Shoshana Vegh

 

אִשָּׁה הִיא כְּמוֹ גֶּזַע עָצוּם
עֲנָפֶיהָ מִשְׂתָּרְגִים לְכָל הַכִּוּוּנִים
תַּשְׁקֶה אוֹתָהּ בְּמַיִם
וְהִיא תִּפְרַח
הִיא תִּחְיֶה.

אִשָּׁה הִיא הָעַמּוּד הַמְּפֹאָר שֶׁל חַיֵּינוּ
הִיא הַיֹּפִי, הִיא הַתִּקְוָה
הִיא שֶׁנִּבְרְאָה מִן הָאָדָם
אֵינָהּ הַצֶּלַע שֶׁלּוֹ
הִיא הָאַהֲבָה
הִיא הַבְּרִיאָה.

אִשָּׁה צְרִיכָה עֵץ עֲנָק
עֵץ מְחַבֵּק שֶׁגִּזְעוֹ בַּשָּׁמַיִם
וְשָׁרָשָׁיו בָּאֲדָמָה.
אִשָּׁה, שֶׁכּוֹחַ הַחַיִּים שֶׁלָּהּ
גָּדוֹל פִּי אֶלֶף מוֹנִים מֵאָדָם,
שַׁלְוָה בְּתוֹכָהּ,
וּשְׁנֵיהֶם עֲצֵי עַד.
