I want to be this person
This woman in my head
Her spirit is so pure, beautiful, wise, still and strong
That should adversity ever brave to pull this noble spirit in its dark and cold embrace
I see her sitting in the darkness on the cold ground
Now made warm because of the smiles she has smiled
She sits on the ground looking up into the sky
Even in the darkness she has found a reason to smile
You can see the core of her spirit shining with a brightness so strong
You can see the happiness, the joy she feels inside
In the smiles she smiles, in her eyes and around the corners of her mouth
There is this golden beautiful light around her
And all of this she feels
Because she finds and sees
The beauty of the moon and its friends the bright shining stars
She feels peace and tranquility in the moon's beauty and its whiteness
She feels hope when looking up at the sky
And then one wonders how can her spirit, the core of it shine so brightly
And she be so content with life and feel joy
When adversities have numbed so many hearts and minds
How does she manage to shine and shine with such strength
That sometimes it is difficult to tell her apart from the stars she sits there admiring
Then you realise it is because the core of her spirit is love
A poweful and pure feeling
A feeling so strong
And this feeling is for anything and everything around her
Even for the adversities in her life
So its everlasting, never ending, infinite love
And so because of this even when faced with adversities her spirit shines
And she smiles looking up at the sky
Admiring the beauty of the moon and the stars
I see adversity approach her
In the darkness
And look down at her with surprise
The warm light around her in the cold even causes adversity to smile
And so adversity sits before her
To find out the cause of her spirit shining so brightly
Adversity sits in front of her
facing her, trying to catch a glimpse of her eyes
And when love looks at adversity
The purity of her gaze is so strong
And the peacefulnes, the beauty, the happiness of her smile and her countenance so pure and warm
That even adversity's cold heart starts beating and becomes a live
Its frozen and hard spirit melts before love
And then it averts its gaze
And stands up on its feet, every inch of it trembling and sweating
It turns, trips, and starts running into the darkness and cries
Why dear God did I decide to become adversity
In your beautiful world
Your beautiful world
ML.
You had me
at adversity.
