She

She searches
For a moment,
far removed from any she has encountered before.
For a lover, rare, honest and true,
someone who can read the poetry in her soul,
understand the delicacy of her heart.
Lord fulfill her humble yearning,
may her heart see its reflection
while her faith still stands strong.

She searches
for a sense of peace,
one which could wipe away the tears of a thousand sorrows,
one so young, yet lives so old.
she fears, she protects, she hides,
within the crystallised forests of her mind;
pain and disappointment have been her companions;
she holds onto simple pleasures, joys and yet
she closes her heart to a thousand possibilities.
Oh lord allow her hearts desires..

One so noble in heart, such depth in her soul,
yet powerful anger, disappointment offset by a cruel, cold world
Lord, all she wants is to love and be loved
purely, endlessly, incomparitively, unconditionally,
but the fear, it controls, it dilutes, it sucks the life out of her intentions,
innocence bound in the confines of memory
and a lack of promise for the possibilities of a
magical tomorrow.

She searches
for a higher purpose, a grander plan,
to grow, to become more than who she is,
She meanders, blissful, happy, lost in the roam,
she already is perfect and she knows it,
She laughs with wild abandon
at the idiosyncrasies of this world.
She loves the variety, she is intrigued by the many,
she pictures, she connects, the power of an image
binds her to the colours, the natural tapestries
of the universe all around her.

She searches for the one among many
she respects the diversity
it stimulates her, mystifies her
a myriad connections and yet a greater sense of self
in the midst of all the hustle and bustle of people
come and gone..like a candle glowing in a vacuum of darkness
there is a greater love, a deeper compassion
an unconditional acceptance,
she waits, she hopes..she knows

She is God's very own child
special and close
for when tears dry and laughter subsides
the melody of her voice
sweetens the universe
She is dear, she is loved
oh how she is loved..
