original poem by M. Rain all rights reserved
I. Somedays she is like the sun
Rising and setting
At a normal pace.
East
To west.
Glowing glowing glowing.
Burning into the foreheads
Of enemies
She shines brighter than any of them
Could ever hope to.
Her trees grow green
Even in fall
They are sparkling with life
You cannot kill her
She is indestructible
II. Somedays she is like the moon
The sky is dark
Surrounded with twinkling stars.
She cannot see them.
She cannot feel them.
They cannot touch her.
Invisible Forcefield
The light bounces right off her
And as it gleams into their faces
They wonder how she could not
See it on her own.
III. Love her in her darkness
Wrapped up in sheets
Piles of thin blankets
The warner fleece in the closet.
She faces the wall
You rub her back.
She cries and you do nothing.
Sometimes you have to let the waterfall do its thing.
She dreams and turns over to meet your eyes
She smiles in the morning light
With tear stains fresh on her cheeks
IIII. Her heart will start to bloom
When the torched garden of her heart
Began to grow ferns
So green they blinded even the sun
Hydrangeas so purple They shamed the plums and the grapes
Outreached vines from her chest Wrapped around
You And only you Loving loving loving
And when you watch the sunset together
She will beam for she has finally reached the sky
