A Poem by Riley Bray
"

~~~

"
The light bends over her,
Arched arms reaching,
Ever sorrowfully, to the heavens,

But will her fingertips ever scrape the sky?

Her soft exhales
Blend fresh aromas,
Painting a picture in sensory detail,

But will her fingertips ever  scrape the sky?

Her fluid movements
Hail gentle winds
That twirl her across the lush grass,

But will her fingertips ever scrape the sky?

Her long, elegant hair
Flows down her smooth back,
Flying behind her like wings,

But will her fragile body ever sit among the stars?

 as she leaps from the ground.

I see you kept a strict format here...
with 3 lines per stanza...
the repeating line and the effect...
within each reading...
I wonder if the last line in the last stanza...
can be modified and give this more...
like example:

Her long, elegant hair
Flows down her smooth back,
Flying behind her like wings as she leaps from the ground,

But will her fragile body ever sit among the stars?

Her long, elegant hair
Flows down her smooth back,
Flying behind her like wings,

But will her fragile body ever sit among the stars?

as she leaps from the ground...

Elegant, breathtaking poetry you've here, I could just imagine the girl restricted by things she can't see as she leaps to the heavens, hoping to caress them . . . Well done
