Still and clear
a body of water
shimmers in the morning light.
She sits quietly beside
as white as a lily
as warm as the sand.
Brittle bones intact for carrying her
into illuminated landscapes
untouched by human hands.
Sparkling eyes in the thinly veiled
alchemy of luminosity
tender to the outward
vibrant to the inward.
She sits silent and upright
in a moment
of time.
Floating in the clear still waters
as one
weathered raw
in the sun rise
of being gentle.
Unfolding grace in the rough
and waterfalls in the condensed,
amidst the dust of starlight
sparkling in her hair.
Within the quiet reflections
of water
under veils of human existence
lifting itself
into the stature of dignity and unseen beauty.
