She
spins in contortions of dance
like a flower at heart
singing, leaning, like the wind
free minded cottonwood, she flows
She
with radiance of stars
compassion of a grasshopper
never harming, never taking
one hop here and another there
She
hidden and locked
disguised – finds the key
what is visible; so much more
learning, bending stem to leaves
She
with the world at her hands
molding, making it hers
clay at hands, life at reach
mind to heart – to others
She
will succeed with passion
blooming like a marigold
accepting, bold, free mind
beauty of cottonwood, she dances
she spins in contortions of dance with radiance of the stars, hidden and locked, with the world at her hands she will succeed with passion
