The girl within
While what she knows
cannot be taught
try and walk
the road she walks
Note the stillness
in the trees
mirroring her effigy
Morning knows
to wake the sun
her work is waiting
to be done
she leaves her worries
far behind
before they take root
in her mind
While holding on
she's letting go
she is the river
in its flow
She is that page
untouched by thought
containing truth
that can't be bought
If silence be
her only friend
then as a friend
she walks with him
She bakes her bread
then feeds the birds
She prays for wisdom
not the words
While others hide
just who they are
she cuts herself
and wears the scars
She never wipes
away her tears
while running toward
the thing she fears
Remembering
how love is blind
she chooses make up
of the mind
And that's the face
she shows the world
A woman yes
yet still a girl
There is a place
where we will meet
not found on any
city street
Only then
she's not alone
within a house
that's not a home
You may not know
her name just yet
but when you do
you won't forget
As for the beauty
of her skin
it simply holds
the girl within
