She is a giving goddess and yet she is a thief
exploring her horizon she will mightily spreads her wings
claiming all she touches and enlightening what holds her
she is a true paradox that no poetics can defer
she has a furious dance but never breaths a sigh
for all her truth unfolds on the kindling of a lie.
Oh before I even comment on the poem Carrie...I have to say I absolutely love your new look....oh please do not change it...love the colors and the header...it is so alive...and the poem reveals the poetic fire that the new you expresses.....blessings...bkm
ReplyDeleteI like the paradoxical attribute you refer here. I actually believe this is what guarantees balance in life. =)
