The summer morning is perfect
arriving from near and far
sisters of all ages, fill the Mission Plaza
with colors and laughter....
Sisters hugging and smiling
setting up their booths and sharing their art.
The sound of the drums in the air
the smell of coffee and chocolate buns,
young girls running around with
colorful painted faces
and volunteers in bright yellow shirts
like sunflowers
helping everyone..
Day with Creative Women
music, art, poetry, fun
and sisterhood
I sit under the ancient eucaliptus trees
and listen to the Mission bells ring,
a bride like a fairy in white walks on the lawn
and we smile to each other
both happy, both surrounded with joy
I look around and see my sisters
laughing, sharing, dancing,
all is well, all is peace.
