Strong as a Woman

Strong as a Woman

Strong, I repeat as I walk into the water.
strong, so what is strong?
strong muscle and strong jaw
or strong in mind? 
strong in birth, strong in motherhood.
Do you know strong?
Because I was born from strong, to be strong.

Today the beach went by me.
A strung between two trees carries my weight.
I point my toes
and mind.
why do I pursue this maddness?
I walk with only one direction.
