I pity those who’ve never seen her smile
For that brief eclipse makes time bow in silence.
I pity those who’ve not glimpsed her eyes,
For within them, a thousand journeys whisper their names.
But when her eyes close
Even stars forget how to shine.
I pity those who’ve never watched her dance
For in her steps, one might lose their own story,
Caught in a rhythm that belongs to no one.
I pity those who’ve never felt her ire
For her anger carves new constellations into the sky,
A flame too holy to extinguish.
I pity those who’ve not held her hand,
For in her touch, she cradles both heaven and earth
And still, she wonders what it means to be grounded.
And those who’ve never known her love?
Even angels weep at what they cannot claim.
She walks among mortals, unaware
That even angels must one day go home.
But if she’s lost, who am I
To pretend I’ll ever find her
