she walks in beauty
brittle beauty
that nature made
all that’s best of dark and bright
her gifts are immeasurable
so delicate, determined, devious and light
too short the season
flowering tomorrow—flowered yesterday
effervescent, effusive, expansive
at times
so soft
so calm
and eloquent
a trickle treasure
abhorrent of reason
dangerous to deal with
beware the season
tough, temperamental, treasonous
costly in keeping
one shade more
one ray less
a dark horse racing
radiant, resilient, Rigid
all that’s best of dark and bright
a smile that wins
a heart filled with shadows
and love
a mind at peace (or is it war?) with all
above
