memoirs of a Geisha

You cannot say to the sun “more sun”,
or to the rain “less rain.”

To a man Geisha can only be half a wife.

We are the wives of nightfall.
And yet to learn of kindness…
… after so much unkindness.

To understand that a little girl with more courage than she knew,
would find that her prayers were answered.
Can that not be called happiness?

After all, these are not the memoirs
of an empress, nor of a queen…

… these are memoirs of another kind.
