Whistle once on the mountaintop
Hear nothing
Whistle twice, inhale
See something
Breathed of wine and birthed from sky
It was the hand, stretched out
And I, could barely contain
The tear, a sigh

Even after
she has experienced
many heartaches
in the past,
what made her
beautiful
was
she understood
with love
comes risk,
but even so,
she was
willing to risk it all
because
she knew
she could take it
if in the end
didn't work out.
She knew
in the end
she would
never really lose
because
everything she did:
a kiss, a laugh,
a look, an embrace,
it all comes from
the very same place.
A pure heart.
