Who’s Listening To The Men?
By KWiz | February 7, 2007
I confess that I don’t always understand my husband very well, even after almost six years of marriage. It has been difficult at times, but his graciousness, warmth, love, compassion, strength, determination, and passion cannot be matched, at least in my book. I read a poem today by Nikki Giovanni in her new book, Acolytes: Poems
Brave Man Dancing
(for Richard Fewell)
When brave men dance
Who sings
When courageous men bask in that midnight sun
Who understands their pain
When men of hope and men of dreams write poems
Who listens
Who listens to the beat
Of a brave man dancing
My husband is brave, courageous, full of hope and spectacular dreams. He, himself, writes wonderful poetry (you can see his poetry at his blog here) which articulates a vision that expands far and wide. My brave man dancing, who helps me understand, who communicates his pain, who’s teaching me to listen specifically to him.
Thank you.
