Sheer Genius Her Nudity

Sheer genius her nudity It scared the neighbors Frightened them into their houses Allowing her to enjoy uninterrupted meditation Sheer adoration, her garden Faeries free to show themselves, Knowing she was the exact right human At the exact right time Sheer creativity, her bold strokes, Her mixed paints, and her wildness in adding Glitters, and sawdust, and other oddities to her canvases Sheer wisewoman, revered by her children, Adored by her grandchildren, Left alone unless she crooked her finger, Indicating she wanted company Sheer genius, her spiritual relationship with The woodland creatures, and the dragonflies who revered her. Sheer genius her self-love, Which allowed her to show herself, on her own terms.

It's a good thing there aren't laws about Fairy nudity. Do the neighbors know that though?

I planted five giant trees around my hot tub when we moved here. We are often free-prancing around here. The neighbors would have to have binoculars, and if they use them, that's "on them" and "serves them right."

That opening stanza made me laugh at first, but on a deeper level.... it is so true. When we bare our souls- it can terrify the people who are unable to be their true selves. Interesting write! ;)

Thank you for "getting it" Rhoda. I wondered if anyone would.
