A Touch of Nature

She steps out on the balcony,
in the soothing night air,
combing her slim fingers
through her shiny, coarse hair..

Her gown sways at her ankles
with its lavender blend,
dancing to and fro
with the flow of the wind.

She extends her arms,
resting her hands upon the deck,
with her silky hair strands
draping her shoulders and neck.

She stares the waves calmly
moving inland and away,
as they’re guided by the wind
day after day.
