Something happens to a woman as she ages, after the many inner wars she wages, after the last of the maturing phases, she is lured into the realm of divine sages. 
Peace. Love. Harmony.

“Sea-Fever”
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Heres a virtual movie of the American poet, biographer, and dramatist Edgar Lee Masters reading the poem “Fiddler Jones” from his best known anthology of poems “Spoon River Anthology”.
This exquisite whimsical poem asserts that it is the happy memories we make that are realy more important than the money we make in our lives. The first line of the poem refers to the rhythym of the heart, and that you yourself are contained in it, and that when you find your passion, your talent, that is what you must commit yourself to, for all your life. One man will look at the field and see a ready harvest and dollar signs. Fiddler Jones would look at it and see a beautiful passage, beyond which lies the river where he would lie and fiddle days away. Later, in the fall, when the wind sends the corn rustling, the first man hears the rattle of change, for this means it is time to harvest and send the cows to be butchered, which means money in his pocket. Fiddler, on the other hand, is simply reminded of the sound made when the girls dance to his music, the way their skirts swish and rustle. Similarly, to one man, a dry, dusty climate means trouble for his crops and causes him worry, but Fiddler just sees is as a reason to party. How could he work his land, much less worry about obtaining *more* land, which would mean *more* work, when everything around him reminds him of his music, his dancing? Furthermore, during the times he did start to work, someone would come and request him to fiddle at a party, and being a man who knows his values, he’d put down his plow and pick up his fiddle. He didn’t die rich, but he died happy.

Fiddler Jones……
The earth keeps some vibration going
There in your heart, and that is you.
And if the people find you can fiddle,
Why, fiddle you must and for all your life.
What do you see, a harvest ofclover?
Or a meadow to awlk through to the river?
The wind’s in the corn; you rub your hands
for beeves hereafter ready for market;
Or else you hear the rustle of skirts
Like the girls when dancing at Little Grove.
To Cooney Potter a pillar of dust
Or whirling leaves meant ruinous drouth;
They looked to me like Red-Head Sammy
Stepping it off, to “Toor-a-Loor.”
How could I till my forty acres
Not to speak of getting more,
With a medley of horns, bassoons and piccolos
Stirred in my brain by crows androbins
And the creak of a wind-mill—only these?
And I never started to plow in my life
That some one did not stop in the road
And tkae me away to a dance or picnic.
I ended up with forty acres;
I ended up with a broken fiddle—
And a broken laugh, and a thousand memories.
And not a single regret.
