DESTINY'S CHILD


      Through the slipstream of emotions
      The sub currents of memories
      Tantalizing tones of subtle motion
      Incandescent colors obtusely placed in the mind

      Where the combination of youth and age
      Build upon another
      Eyes slender seeing forward
      Watching time without distinction

      She sleeps quietly filled with dreams
      Magical places well traveled
      Fears left behind in the mists of valleys
      Trees towering as she reaches for them

      The scent of the world fully blossomed
      Alive at once as she breaks into this world
      A whirlwind of thought and sensory perception
      This day she is born and everyday after she will be born again
