She

She was born to the Day,
but given over to the Night.
Her brain fizzled like seltzer.
Anxiety was a monster that she let in.
She was born with a star and a moon.
She opened her eyes like curtains,
drawing in the warmth of the Sun.
Her eye lashes were like butterflies fluttering in the wind.
They were long and beautiful.
Her soul felt evanescent,
the way it ebbed and flowed like the Tide.
She glowed like a star at Night,
like something ethereal,
like something from another world.

Day and night, light and dark - nobody can escape from the great truth of those times, those influences. Man was meant to learn from influences that can never be truly understood BUT can nevertheless protect their possibilities. Do you think.. or am I alone in feeling what we have deserves protection before the 'before' removes what was given so sincerely?

I believe ' she' is enjoying the experience of temptation, so many delicious fruits on view so ripe to pick but which to chose, think Adam & Eve ??

An expressive painting. I enjoy picturing her walking around with one star and moon revolving around her wherever she goes. Surreal and beautiful.

This poem is very ethereal as is the soul you portray in this beautiful piece… on the outside she is stunning and shines just like the moon and stars… but night is also dark, and there is something dark about her…. The anxiety that she holds in her core…. So you have the light and the dark at once…. Stunning poem
Warmly, B
