She Is More

She doesn't trust easily anymore, you can see
that in the distance she creates between herself
and everyone around her, but she has so much love
to offer, and you can see this in the kindness of her
smile that she gives out to everything and everyone.

She has millions of chaotic pictures of thoughts, thousands
of tangled up worlds of words and places in her mind, you see
it in the way her eyes always seem lost, like they are somewhere
else.

Her longing to be somewhere else, shows in the way she's always
rushing and moving, the way she's always restless.
Life never went easy on her and she didn't go easy on herself either.
She is so strong and you can see it on her face, you can sense it in her
voice, there is wisdom.

She believed that her body would physically heal and rebuild itself. 
I think that's because she had faith in herself even after life had 
broken her. She got up off the ground and dusted herself off.
She knows what it's like to be under-appreciated or dis-respected, 
but yet she is humble and at peace with the darkness and not afraid 
to be alone.

So if you can't see the beauty in her pirate smile and quirky ways, 
and if you don't think that maybe she might be a little piece of magic, 
but instead consider her a distorted painting; You would be wrong, 
because she is a masterpiece of her own creation after the aftermath
of the long, long journey onward from where she came. 
She is about something good, because she knew she could, 
and that to her, is a love better than ever known.

She is Love, She is a Woman, Bold & True, Strong yet gentle in her 
heart and hands when she wipes away the tears from days long gone by. 
Notice the thousand yard stare, it was earned by every mile walked alone, when compassion for her was none. Sure footed she stands a single soul 
on a two way path of right or wrong. Know she is aware of the darkness 
in this world, but for her, it was better than home.

Thank you Peter Dome. I don't feel that way. I think we all have our own individual strengths that make each and everyone of us our own magical self and that teaches us what those strengths are when it is ready to. Have a wonderful weekend. Sharon
