Woman Child

Flame haired woman child standing poised upon the cliff Yearning to be set free Momentarily quiet Unmoving Like the stillness before the storm Giving voice to her future self Suddenly she bursts into motion Dancing and sparkling Reminiscent of sunshine on wind tossed waves Child awakened once more But still only half aware Behind her eyes lies unknown depths As the ocean holds secrets Eddies and currents Never seen upon the surface Sometimes slow warm and gentle Then turning cold Deep, mysterious Ages old with innocence above
