LOVE


She lay in the forest

Fairies combing her long dark hair

Her skin white ivory

Soft as a new leaf


Silence tangible and unreal

With the moonlight slowly caressing her

Her eyes glisten with the melody of the heavens

The stars above singing of her beauty


Untouchable by any man

She lofts overhead with ease and grace

To her life is simple pleasure

Cherished then savored like a kiss


Often loved as she walks with the Earth

And flies through the air

Fleeting as she is with this time and reality

She is all that is and ever was
