though she walks a beautiful road
that is not all there is.
bathed in brilliance
flowing through her being as if it
were in her veins.
courage surges from every orifice:
a warrior, underestimated, unappreciated
head among the clouds
sun kissed eyes blind
to the adverse
lips graced with a wisdom beyond the years
worn
refined
radiant patience brushed over her skin
so though she walks with flowers in her hair
beauty is not all there is.

though she walks a beautiful road
that is not all there is.
bathed in brilliance
flowing through her being as if it
were in her veins.
courage surges from every orifice:
a warrior, underestimated, unappreciated
head among the clouds
sun kissed eyes blind
to the adverse
lips graced with a wisdom beyond the years
worn
refined
radiant patience brushed over her skin
so though she walks with flowers in her hair
beauty is not all there is.
