Lyrical
Her fingers perch
on ringing strings:
the harpist stops
yet music sings
behind bright eyes
which drift to dreams
beyond the trees
where sunlight streams
and once again
she dances there
with airy limbs
as if on air
as music fills
her bursting heart
aglow with wonder
beauty, art
no longer bound
by sorrows here
or old regrets
when shadows clear
because she sees
her world anew
released and free
now love proves true.
