Divine Feminine Tribute

[Male] Divine feminine, let me tell you what I see. Come a little closer, let the evening breathe. There’s a thousand things your eyes have never said, But I’ve heard the quiet courage underneath. Let me put this into words you get to keep: You are beautiful in ways that beauty cannot reach. [Male] I’ve seen you hurt and still refuse to wound, Take a breath before you answer in the room. You don’t turn a broken moment into war, You can name the pain and still protect your core. You don’t need revenge to prove that you were right, You don’t make somebody smaller for your light. And when your voice says, “This is where I draw the line,” Even tenderness has thunder in its spine. I see the strength beneath the gentle way you move, The things you could have done but didn’t choose. You let your anger speak without becoming cruel; There’s a kind of grace I’m learning here from you. [Male] Let me tell you what I see, A woman standing whole in her humanity. Ancient in your wisdom, young inside your laughter, Soft enough for love, strong enough for what comes after. Divine feminine, you don’t have to shine for me; Even when you’re tired, there is beauty I can see. Let me love the living woman underneath the mystery. Come closer, let me tell you what I see. [Male] You give the one who clears the table your attention, Remember someone’s name and ask a second question. The person in the finest suit gets no more of your heart Than somebody counting coins beneath the stars. No ladder in your kindness, no velvet rope to cross; You see a human being where the world is keeping score. And I watch a weary face begin to soften when you speak, Like they finally have permission just to be. You don’t collect admirers just to feel alive; You make a little room for someone else’s light. I used to think that power had to occupy the air; Now I see how much it changes when you care. [Male] Then you laugh and all that solemn wisdom dances, Barefoot in the kitchen, taking little chances. You can speak about the soul beneath the skies, Then steal my serious face with mischief in your eyes. How do you hold the ocean and still jump into the rain? Find a whole new reason to be happy here again? You’re a beautiful unfolding I could never memorize; Every day another color coming into sight. [Male] Let me tell you what I see, A woman standing whole in her humanity. Ancient in your wisdom, young inside your laughter, Soft enough for love, strong enough for what comes after. Divine feminine, you don’t have to shine for me; Even when you’re tired, there is beauty I can see. Let me love the living woman underneath the mystery. Come closer, let me tell you what I see. [Male] When you get it wrong, you don’t disappear behind a story; You can say, “I did that,” without bargaining for glory. You listen to the hurt, let the lesson settle in, Then your next decision shows the change beginning. No polished explanation takes the place of your repair; You let your love become the way you’re showing care. That kind of courage brings me down into my chest: I want to tell the truth instead of looking like my best. So I’m learning how to listen without loading my defense, How to leave a little space before I finish your sentence. How to say that I am sorry, let my actions make it real, How to stay beside a feeling I once hurried you to heal. You inspire the man I’m choosing to become; The work is mine to carry, and I’m willing to begin. I want my tenderness to meet the tenderness you give, Let devotion have a heartbeat in the ordinary things. [Male] And when the room goes quiet, I can feel my shoulders fall. You don’t have to fill the silence, you don’t have to fix it all. There’s a peace in being welcome without something to achieve, In the space between our breathing, I remember how to breathe. Let me offer you that shelter when your own sky turns to gray, Hold the door for all your feelings, hear the words you need to say. You deserve to be supported, you deserve a place to rest; Lay your head upon my shoulder, let me meet you in your depth. [Male] Let me tell you what I see, A woman standing whole in her humanity. Ancient in your wisdom, young inside your laughter, Soft enough for love, strong enough for what comes after. Divine feminine, let my presence help you see: You can bring your fire, your sorrow, and your joy to me. I will keep on getting curious, keep choosing honesty. Come closer, let me tell you what I see. [Male] I see kindness with a backbone. I see laughter finding air. I see wisdom wearing bare feet. I see courage choosing care. I see someone worth knowing When the day has lost its glow. Divine feminine, I see you— And there’s still so much to know.
