What She Is Like


It is impossible to say what she is like ​­

as she is incomparable to most earthly things

She's not a wildflower, ​­

she is a whole meadow

A secret kept by the forest ​­

          wild, untamed, breathtaking

She's not a mere flame ​­

          She is a wildfire

Haunting, alive ​­

          Uncontained and dangerous

She isn't a star ​­

She is the entire night sky

Mysterious and infinite ​­

          inspiring and largely unexplored
