Brave Women’s Amulet

Annie Finch

 

Women have voices it’s time to believe in. 

Brave women’s words, spoken out clear and steady,

move us through generous ways of achieving.

Women have voices it’s time to believe in, 

braiding sweet worlds.  This grave, loving weaving

is singing our lives back, and women are ready—

women have voices. It’s time to believe in

brave women’s words, spoken out clear and steady.
