There she was again

Standing calm & cool

As always, perfect

With a bit of a smile waiting

For something appealing

A small charm

A lovely sculpture

A moment of zen/bliss

The setting sun & sometimes me

And when that smile burst

Into the open

The world smiled back

As if in her face

They saw the best of themselves

And caught in her slipstream

They felt better about everything

Same world

Same problems

Same person

But they emerge changed

Left wanting another peek

At the scenes

Catch her before she floats away

So light, God lifted her like a feather

Into a stratosphere of hope & light

Somewhere appealing

To her sense of beauty & innocence

A look to the left

No face

A look to the right

Same/same

All the same faces but not hers
