Saoirse

Saoirse

Saoirse have I named her
that other one of me
who floats just outside
this poor realty.

her eyes are bright filled
with a light far beyond my ken
yet all I have been warned about
she sees.

mind quick silver 
shapes thought from dream
and frees it for infinity
too filter through the clouded mind

below in the waiting room of earth
longing and fear entwine
rabid lovers feast on the unsurity
of a well groomed life

I pray to her 
though she is me 
in words that make no sound
but, “only if”.

Hi Particia, the musings of a lovely mind. I am thrilled with this write. Its craft and its beauty. I am so glad to find you are here. I have also not been on Soup having writers block but although my muse comes back, I am overloaded with work and had little time to go on Soup. Love Jannie

You and she the same, but one is in a trance and seeing far beyond the other. Beautifully expressed, Patricia.
