Her apparel is that of years gone by,
Her wit is quick, yet hidden and dry.
This is surely not her place, it seems . . .
Something in her eye tells of lofty things.
She has immediate presence that radiates,
And her mind forever meditates . . .
(She's unable to choose from many fates).
Star dust glistens in her long silken hair,
A philosopher, a teacher: she disguises her care.
Her feet are bare, but they are quite clean. . .
Her face is bright, and her body is keen.
She seeks an answer for the one who will ask -
And with understanding, she completes the task.
As does a waif, now for survival she strives,
But had coachmen and servants in other lives . . .
An essence about her of rare perfume,
(She has jewels and treasure in a private room.)
She escapes away from well laid schemes
While she ponders upon her lofty dreams.
She runs with grace through the driving rain,
Wearing only a diamond on a gold neck chain.
So much mystery and a splash of charm,
Can such a creature's heart be warm?
If you chance see her, do beware . . .
She's a gypsy, a lady, and has Irish dare.
With an incantation cried out in the dark,
She lights the fire with only a spark. . .
(Does she carry a weapon, or play a harp?)
She draws and quarters the ace of spades,
And she is the master of mind charades.
Her longing is not for silver and gold . . .
For, her heart and mind are centuries old.
What she loves most is the moon as it beams;
Her desire is to dwell within lofty dreams. . . .

Wow. I am so happy that you have chosen to post here. I feel a kindred spirit. And the fact that I am born a "Kathy", and go by the name of midnitesun? I'm not sure that I believe in coincidences anymore. Welcome, and it's good to read your words, they feel like a warm glove to me.
