She has a face as old as the world
full of valleys and mountains
and of ancient understanding and peace.
Such peace has been gathered through
her view of this journey
spread over eras from Adam and Eve
to your children's children.
If it weren't for her eyes,
she would blend in nicely
with the elderly sitting on the porch
and drinking tea
but they shine bright from her pale face
and reflect a wisdom that you cannot comprehend
like the gears in a watch moving together
to form something graceful.
As an oracle of love
greater than any you have ever known
and lacking fear of what is to come
she allows you a glimpse
of the beauty waiting
for her and for yourself.
