Glitterless and Bare

In a world swathed, in the darkest of night She danced and she twirled, emanating light The very place where, her dainty hands lay Scintillated sparks, of glorious day A woman touched, by celestial grace Heavenly glitter, sheened angelic face She traipsed high and low, aching hearts to bless Lustrous glory, she clothed in tenderness One day fairy, by unseen hand did fall Shiny wings crushed, she was left there to crawl Her soul's glimmer, now flowed out in her tears Prostrate on the ground, weighed by bitter fears With every sob, falling glitter left bare Her magic gone, she gave in to death there Eileen Manassian Ghali
