Girl's Souls

Snips & snails & midnight shadows unaware--

...the soft flesh of wildflowers tremble
in the blistering wind.

Slowly shifting their tattered reflection...
Twilight fire, painted angels
bleeding dreamlessly.

A perfect stranger
melts like a million echoes ground into dust--

Eternity glows like a falling moonstone.

Girl's souls
really are sugar and spice...

Reminds me of the old saying " girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice" and "boys are made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails" The kids used to tease each other growing up....thanks for bringing back that memory
