Your beauty is like a river -
watch it flowing by gracefully.
It is a wonderful treasure,
worth more than any pot of gold.
You are freer than any bird
above the earth, the heavens, the sea.
Your bliss is far more contagious
than the deadliest pathogens.
You're calmer than a stormless sea,
more loving than e'en God can be,
much truer than the best of friends,
and more honest than simplest truths.
Yet, in your most beautiful form,
no different from your most horrible,
you stand above and in the world,
illusion or not it may be.
My soul would be more than happy
to drink the least of your sweet wines.
It's with this heart i write to you
and wait so long for your reply.
Yours in full,
Maria Elena Garcia
