Who Art Thou, Alisa

19 April 2006


Alisa, who art though
a loving beauty in eyes seen
Her heart a beating tender
as unto a softness to hold

Her truth, a struggle to endure
this respect she does in trust honour
Alas your beauty was illumination
a light of yonder path await

Hidden beyond a mirrored gateway
trapped unto fish gathered within a net
Each cord a strong thread
much like an everlasting tapestry woven

Eternity, a friendship united
nothing could tear that watery grin
Alas unto Alisa, heaven your essence
not to know, was to be unknown for ever


“Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel
was beautiful and well favoured.”
Genesis 29:17 KJV
