Women Who Carry the Moon

They stand before the full moon—
two daughters of the old Earth,
wrapped in turquoise light
and the quiet strength
of generations.

Their braids reach like rivers
toward the stories they inherit,
each feather a promise
carried forward
with steady hands.

They do not bow to the night—
the night bows to them,
recognizing in their silence
a power older than fire,
gentler than dawn,
yet capable of shaping worlds.

Side by side,
they hold the wisdom
of every woman
who has ever healed a wound
with her voice,
her courage,
or the simple act
of continuing on.

And the moon,
glowing full and bright,
leans close to bless them—
for even the sky knows
that women like these
do not just live on the land…
they keep the land alive.
