she speaks softly
with a warm yet
diminishing glow
that to be beautiful
is often a lonely
place to dwell
and as her beauty
slowly fades
she waits...
her eyes glow bright
in her subdued light
recalling old passions
then slowly dull
at the fear of not
finding him again
and she waits...
desperately seeking
that one soul who might
complement and aquaint
her spirited heart with
love and compassion
before it's too late, so
she waits...
her life's intricate
landscaped journey
is nothing more than
confusing paths of
delicate lies and
broken dreams
tearful moments best
forgotten, the door
to her past ajar
and she waits...
and as the sun
slowly fades and
the moon ascends
she silently stares
into a dusty mirror
and waits...
