How She Feels

Hopes

She is waiting patiently for the person

But S I T T I N G in silence was never a joy of hers

L A Y I N G under the willow trees

She wonders about the things

Some never even glance at

Is anyone beautiful enough?

Can they see?

Watching all the simple things

She knew could make the hardiness of them

F

to their knees at one glimpse of her hair

A perfect place for their hands

She blurted out the randomness

That hid in the crannies of her soul

Puzzle pieces she gave up trying to fit

Letting her heart sing

Not of allegiance and Strength

Love songs to the life she had with herself

Lyrics too LOUD but needed to be sung

Laughing even when no one else

Saw the beauty in the things

She found hilarious

The Simplicity of life's beauty

Dancing with her eyes o p e n

To the heartbeat only she could hear

P O U N D I N G to let her know she was alive

A beat to S T O M P her feet to

Spinning with that

Look of otherness

That only certain souls have

A beauty you just can't stop staring at

Like when a star winks at you

Winking back is a must

She would smile

A grin that planted a seed of beauty

Into the strangest of people

Meeting her gaze watered

The puniest of flowers

Making it bloom

Showing the beauty of its flower

Perfection pressed in its petals

Meeting no strangers

She watered everyone's garden

Not caring to give all of herself

Just to see others strive

Leaking light onto their cobblestone paths

Her emotions sank

into the damp earth of their souls

Weaving through the rocks

That threatened to stop her grace

Refusing to take her eyes off

The glory she had revived

But when she saw the ocean in his eyes

She forgot the decay that was her own

Walking to see the waves

Feeling a thirst that made her forget

The desert heated her tongue

And she simply let herself

Feeling the sand of his skin

Beneath her toes

And loving the motion of his tides
