A work of splendor, God’s personal masterpiece. As tall and as wide as a treetop song. White as a winter morning But only in the center Gray goose down on the bottom Blue-tinged on the top half. Extravagant enough to drown out anything, Breathtakingly miraculous The woman it shelters, on the other hand… A plain creature of no spectacles, average beauty The cape this showwoman has donned Doesn’t match who she is. Which makes them both far more beautiful to me.
