Beauty in Boots
13 December 2005

She stands still
beauty to boots upon her feet
Her hands clasped together
to her front and side

Her dress elegant yet simple
in a fringe of lace upon black
In a lacy hem of white mid-length
as her focus meant her head looked away

The mystery of this girl in photograph
her heart shaded in quest of respect
Those eyes of beauty her shield hidden

Of such an embrace not always understood
she in care of family and employment to cater
A fish, an ocean and lake down Ontario way
God gave a miracle to communicate with her some day

Thanks, and perhaps you might like this one as well, given I wrote her the book, this poem above features in
/pip/Forum94/HTML/003479.html

and I wrote her this as well, and many others already in these thread.

All considering my muse on this account is some 8000 or more miles away, yet spirits do connect
