It's just her style:
doing things without even
noticing herself.
Enchanting the wilderness
around her,
as thornbushes sway
into song and dance,
and unaware,
she walks away.
I'd love to tell her
that she's building up
a beauty;
an army of angels
behind her,
filling up.
But it wouldn't suit her
to pay it any mind,
she tells me.
She'd rather leave behind
her story
just for a chapter
with me.
"Why worry
about the past?
Yesterday's gifts
are already recorded."
"Besides,"
she gazed at me,
smiling...
"what more
could a girl be rewarded?"
As she lay, beside me,
coated in light,
like the afterglow
of a supernova.
And feeling her angel breath
s c a t t e r
tenderly,
across my chest,
made me pray
it never be over.
