THE LION’S MANE 
                     After Anna Swir 
 
My essence, you are a lion 
whose aggressive, yet compassionate attitude 
is out of the love and respect. 
The courage and confidence that course through you 
are unmatched. 
The fur that adorns your back,  
showing your true spirit and culture. 
You may become for me, a passage 
to my best self 
to which I refer at times of distress 
and need. 
A flowered, beautiful passage to self-value  
and worth. 
My body, you are a lion 
whose passion is strong  
and whose ambition is true. 
 
 


The author's comments:

I was initially inspired by Anna Swir's poem: Talking to my Body. The beautiful images she conveyed really led me to craft my own piece. I hope others can read this and learn to appreciate themselves and whatever they stand for and believe in.
