The Puppeteeress

Knowledge as vast as this visceral plane
Beauty rampant in this one
Picked for a reason; to be picked by one
who reminds her as everything.

Woman of Earth's demise
still she makes best of dire straights
stretchd from ear to skull
emotions contagious.

Conversation intangible because
of the infinite wisdom posessed
And yet she lets everyone in
So kind, so virtuous, so passionate.

Indifference has made her this way
And to merely know her won't suffice
always had something to offer us
The World, All Planes-Her Stage
