Farewell to Fertility
Farewell, gentle river of life,
that flowed silently within me,
carrying unborn dreams
and cycles that once wove me as a woman.
I let you go without sorrow,
as the moon releases the tide:
with gratitude, with love,
with a soul at peace.
My body will no longer bloom as before,
but it still sings, still embraces,
still holds the power of a thousand springs.
I am not less — I am changed.
Not fertile, but fruitful in other ways:
in words, in tenderness, in memory.
You have completed your journey in me.
Thank you for your gift.
Now I rest in another kind of fullness.
