I am…

Human woman,
Carved and curved in facets clean
Spectral at the center, fullest carats gleam
Strong to cut from glass, a sovereign uncut hope
Bright to sparkle on despite the sutured interlope

Mother grace,
Smile lines define my face
Fullest hips bear heavy chores
Hands of healing, arms of shores

Adams lover,
Mesmerized in time disguised and tale ageless
Her, undoubtedly a finger food to feed his epic page-less
Pristine peaks hospitable yet shy in his reflection
Curved to undulate the waves awash in his affection

I am…
The Quaking Aspen, shimmering by touch
The Tigress and Euphrates, a sea to sail as much
Rock and clover, rolling over in the glee of she
I am, as sacred carnal flower in blossom, his beauty

I am handing out the gold stars today so please come up and claim yours - you sure earned it.  Absolutely beautiful imagery in this, and I loved the analogies within.

Heartfelt thanks to all of you, as I had the opportunity to speak thoughts that seldom have the chance to be said.

Special thanks to Serenity for the idea, and the challenge.

It's important to take stock of ourselves, and in each other, and our special contributions and light every day...this was great fun.
