Anguished Optimism

Poem#8 : Alluring Zeal

All she ever wanted was a little bit of love.

Beautiful she was, inside and out.

Caring she was, helped everyone about.

Despite all this she never even got a little bit of love.

Every night she looked up to the sky,

Full of stars and a solitary moon.

Glory of the moon made her swoon.

How it shone the brightest among all the other beings of the sky!

Intense hope of her heart,

Joggled her mind when she thought of giving up,

Kindled her faith when time was rough,

Lightened her mood and calmed her heart.

Making no promises to a single soul,

Never trusting any stranger,

Often kept her far from danger.

Prepared she was to love but never to trust a soul.

Questioning the purpose of life

Restless she lay so many nights.

Sorting the good and bad and the wrongs and rights

Trying to get a answer to this confusing life.

Unbelievably ambitious, curious and hopeful,

Vulnerable, quiet and shy all the while.

Whispering her presence to the world with a smile.

Xenagogy of Xanadu; she will find, she was hopeful.

Yes,she found what she needed though many years after.

Zeal is the key to get what you are after.
