See the youth that resides within me
mirrored dark curls framing a woman’s
face who now breathes easier
not often the case when questions curled
like a hazy halo of smokey confusion
within my days and nights
watch me convey knowledge soul filled
now a sign of experiential vibrant color
a glowing gold not in the guise
of youth’s vanity
see my spirit soar within mirrored eyes
clear as mountain spring waters
seeing deep as ocean valleys
thunderous as waterfalls
filling crystal clear rivers running swift
choreographed with a magical dance
of a sprite or fairy or two
