Knowing Thou This Woman

Thou sayest thou cares to know this woman?
That it is most awkward to know her well?
Hear me, my friend, come hither and see
For it is in this crystalline tear that fell.

See thou this tear? This drop of hope and faith?
This love that has spilled out from within
This bit of tenderness that just escaped
This, a precious release of soul therein

Now wipe thy baffled look from thy face
Harbor not questions in her cosmic embrace
Take her offerings wrapped in golden sheen
And believe in all of her feather-light dreams

Thou shouldst ne'er question her resolute steel
That inner fiery core that only she may feel
That softest part therein that believes in you
And would raise thee up, through and through

Thou sayest thou wants to know this woman
What art thou missing in this, her touch?
Cannot you feel the holy awesome of her?
Thou couldst, if not on thy guard so much...

And this is the reason of the why, dear friend
That she, her crystalline tear on thee, would spend
For thou, thou wouldst question her very heart
While crystalline tears for thy soul she doth impart...

Lady of Brightness,
Thy words hath brought
this Lady out of hiding
on this windy day of chill.
Lovely, is the only word that
comes to mind.

See thou
this tear?
This drop of hope and faith?
This love
that has spilled out
from within?
This bit of tenderness
that just escaped?
This ...
a precious release
of soul therein

(sigh) Oh Karilea, I couldn't help but cry when I read this because this reminded me of thinking of the girl I love so much, Joanna, and how I would give anything to hold her close and share those crystalline tears with her! (big hugggsssss) This is very emotionally beautiful, sweet friend, your words are always magic to us all! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Ah Karilea, I wish I could write like this! I'm even afraid to try it for fear of it turning out like something from an old Monty Python movie. *s* This is sooo special! Enjoyed much this morning!
