Though Unseen, Her Soul is Lucid

Posted by in on 18-12-12

And soft, like thoughts
on snowy evenings.
The amber fire inside of her
warms me.

She is filled with sympathy;
cries out when injustice
sets fire to the world.

She’s a subtle understanding,
like Braille across the enigma
of wounds in the heart.

And though unseen, her soul is lucid.
A poetic ideal
I’ve always wished
to become.

And bright, like clouds
on snowy evenings.
The amber light inside of her
calms me.

She is filled with symphony;
sings out when justice
takes hold in the world.

She’s my one true understanding.
A quiet hand reaching for mine
when my head is low, when I need love …

On a snowy evening.
In the amber glow.
