I'd like to think of her as a bible, One undeniably within reach. Free to the touch, the embrace of saving myself well, from myself. Hearing myself in a way not thought possible. I Convenient to the word she speaks. The tenderness of realizing that the next moment is not promised. Though I rejoice in taking the next moment as a promise. Knowing that if I shall close my eyes and tomorrow never comes. That I'll be present wherever she is. Understanding that the beauty of her is not easily obtained. The excitement of sitting in silence. Allowing her to probe my mind. To heal the aches not easily curable by anything other. The taste of palm to cover. To be remade by a higher power. The miracle of knowing. The metaphorical essence of innocence
