Somewhere in the middle of the lands,
With flowery beds and tall trees that stand.
With an advent of a breeze so light,
Tiptoeing towards a mountain height,
I met her.
Walking with a dignified pride and radiating her aura so bright,
Eyes beaming with a spark and knee-long tresses so dark.
Keeping her head held high, she moves with a flow,
Resonating beauty, divinity, and confidence — she’s without a flaw.
She sings, she dances, making the moment matter,
Like a heavenly abode, she could make the birds chatter.
A rush in the woods I see,
The birds chirp, the trees swing, and the air starts to breeze.
Whence she sings and dances to her tune,
Pearls fill the land and all the flowers nearby bloom.
I then see her inner light and joy that flow,
Making the earth beneath shine and sky above glow.
People, birds, animals — even she laughs with the plants,
Showering her love on them, her smile is what she flaunts.
She caresses, she loves, taking in all their pain,
Only believing the love given never goes in vain.
People look at her in awe, flabbergasted,
How she makes everyone smile, even those devastated!
They soak in her energy and her spirit so high,
She gives them the wings of hope — and they fly.
Making their sorrows vanish by setting their spirits free,
It’s only because of her, in the dreamland, that I see…
People love, cherish, and value one another,
Every being speaks and every breath matters.
How this life will be is only for me to decide,
For it’s the love that only counts — rest all will subside.
Closer I go and take a deep gaze,
She resembles me — and thus I am amazed.
I dive deeper and, focused, I see,
That’s my soul soaring high, teaching me to be free.
Telling me some truths that I often neglect,
Loving and connecting to myself is my soul’s only intellect.
Merrier is my body, my mind, my soul when it’s all love I see,
That’s the only truth we seek — for the truth only sets us free.
