GENTLY TOUCH


      The mountains covered in white
      Like the purity of her soul
      Her eyes reach for the stars far away
      She knows the Earth

      She has become one with all
      Holding her hair as she gazes into dreams
      Imagination and reality no longer separated
      Time has become a moment without tense

      Focus of mind and spirit
      In her pursuit of truth
      She stands strong, having known pain and love
      The body can be brittle but not the soul

      She is not a Goddess
      Yet she shines like the Sun
      Illuminating all around her
      With her hands she creates

      With creations the world sees
      Touch gently her hand
      Then be thankful to know her
      With a smile she will return your love
