Always the disciplinarian, she serves up
great lessons to her students.
She is moody; at times depressing, sorrowful,
hateful, melodic, wistful, evocative,
provocative, angry, and fearful...
but always enlightening.
She is also funny with farce,
romance, and wit among her bountiful charms.
She can exude a radiant energy,
capable of holding you with the gentleness
of a mother's love for her child,
or she can spark fire and slap your face
with a stinging caress admonishing you
for lacking in attention, knowledge, and patience.
Always ritualistic, immediate, and transitory...
she invigorates my mind and body
like no other art form.
She has a seductive nature.
Like the brightly colored butterfly;
goddess of love;
her spirit and Grecian beauty overwhelmed me.
I hope she will tuck me in tight
our last night together;
kiss my forehead.
Reach to me with her elegance, so
I can follow her into the horizon.
