Shaina Templin Poet Imagism

In the Light of the Window

she lingers,
     forever embedded in my memory,
          the most beautiful girl I’ve yet to behold.
the epitome of all things lovely:
     sunlight filters through the window,
          speckling her freckled face with golden sun,
in her flaming hair, 
     shimmering sunbeams,
          ethereal as that of an angel.
perfect and soft as a gently rolling stream,
     her voice caresses the air,
          with melodies comparable to nothing on earth.
