When Women Gather
Words and music by Jeanne Loehnis
Copyright 2007 Jeanne Loehnis Appleton, Wisconsin
Each has come, aware of depth,
that they alone can know.
For all have journeyed to this point
a path that is their own.
When women gather, far away
from life’s unceasing tasks...
in time each slows from hectic pace
and dares remove the mask.
Gently first, just dabbling
with this freedom all so need;
Joy and laughter fill the air
as trust grows from this seed.
‘Tis then, in moments unforeseen
and catching unaware,
a message strikes an inner chord
and sorrow deep is shared.
And miracles of bonding grow
as stories told reveal
the oneness of the female soul
we nurture now to heal.
When women gather, far away,
a blessing we behold.
Now joined as one in sacred space:
the mirrors of our souls.
