I have this posted in Facebook, but I know I'll have an easier finding it here, than there. Plus I don't feel right cheating on LJ...
spirit of a girl. strength of a woman.
a natural beauty, that strikes my sight
with no slathering of chemicals
to obscure that inner grace
transforming, from conceptual to visible
by shining through to a smile
more welcoming than her arms.
patience, indeed a virtue
a prerequisite for survival
in the forest of my mind.
she would teach me of the constellations
just to see me home
[safe]
led by that stellar blanket
now familiar.
as she turns her gaze upwards
brilliant eyes
are open windows
to a corresponding soul
drawing me close
as i stand still.
and as the sun falls away
to be caught by the horizon,
that distant land
no man shall ever reach,
she lays within my arms
tacit bliss
as the stars remind me of her.
