She

She

She flutters around you along with the breeze
Always knows what you’re doing from the whisper of the birds in the trees
She’ll follow you forever till you’re down on your knees
And she’ll pick you up gently like a hand stronger than needs
You will wonder what keeps you going every time that you’re grieved 
She will fly right above you as you fumble with deeds 
But she’ll never question why it is that you make question that will never appease
Why men war till their rapture and constantly except gold over pleas
She will one day lie beside you even though you have grown old and the world has started to bleed.
