The era of the sun

what do you give to
the woman who has everything,
whose hopes have already
been realised, who has seen
the fulfilment of her dreams?

there is no-thing, instead
to serve the one greater,
the one greater thing -
all things seen
and unseen that reach
fulfilment in the
humble and the caring -

I have silk and diamonds
I have men, I have
a home, sold, all my
loved ones gone -

but I follow, I tread
a narrow road
the sunrise road - this is
the era of the sun
