Unbeckoned, She Came,

A Freedom, Bearing Chains,

Locked Away in Her Halcyon Gaze,

Against the Bonds of Her Smile, I Strain,

I Avert My Eyes from Her Splendour,

Yet, Still Unable to Avoid Her Grace,

Her Countenance Deeply Etched Within,

She is, of Sunlight Traced,

Who is She? This Angel,

Whom the Four Winds Encircle,

Dancing in the Night of Her Hair,

Their Fingers Tightly Entangled.

Carelessly Beautiful,

She Colours the World in Candor,

A Nonchalant Elegance,

That Quickens My Heart's Murmer,

The Inamorata of Stars,

Her Eyes Mirror Their Sparkle,

Lifting the Hearts Around Her,

Gravity Itself, is Enfeebled...

You are the Gauge,

That Measures My Summer,

All is Warm in Your Gaze,

A Heat that doesn't Swelter.

You Carry the Sun's Smile,

Into the Cold Depths of Winter,

I am Warmed in the Drifting Snow,

By Your Giggles' Shimmer,

The Melody of Your Voice,

Is the Pitter-Patter of Rain,

The Promise of a New Faith,

That Staves all Past Pain,

The Hint of Your Favour,

A Quotientless Question,

My Fears Fester Cold,

Amidst this Tall Bastion,

Just a Glance Toward,

Is What This Fool asks,

To Enlighten his Ignorance,

And Take His Fear to Task,

Save One from Himself,

Nature's Seasoned Queen,

Shine a Realmless Knight,

Back to an Unseen Gleam,

It's been a long time since I have written something like this. Time it seems, is relentless in its path forward. I have let it carry me along it's river without stopping to notice what is around me for a long time. This poem is homage to a Muse rediscovered.
