A Significant Elegance

I marvel at her elegance elegance born of an understanding an esthetic awareness, the knowing of who she is She embraces both the beauty and limitations of her form Wearing what pleases her no longer putting pretty things away for some future occasion Her clothing creates movement for she does not wish to stay still I see her eyes sparkle with the eagerness of yesterday's child the exuberance of her endless possibilities Still a subtle sadness resides a warning of sorts an "approach with caution" "come to me, but keep your distance" perhaps she feels safer that way Maybe this is part of her aesthetic for music cannot exist without tension notes are born of apposing forces So I will ask my questions attempt to understand I will hear what she wishes to tell and I will try to comprehend Most importantly I will appreciate her elegance the freedom she finds within her laughter Her inquisitiveness as she peers over her glasses for she is both a teacher and a student life for her remains and adventure and she chooses to live it one note at a time until she has written her symphony until she has painted all of her colors until she realizes that pain serves a purpose Without it we never truly become we never truly know who we really are
