Sometimes Life

Sometimes life

Disguises herself with dark make-up

And hail for hair

She closes the sky

And stays in for the night

puts the stars back in her jewelry case

…nobody noticed them anyway

Then she decides that she is sad

And bathes in salted tears

Refusing to drain her fears

 write her a love letter

explaining that her beauty is eternal

 and too infinite to be hidden

let her know that pretty

seems to like to rest within her dimples

sing her a song she’ll recall she loved

send her a smile she can hear in the harmony

her heart will change

like spring is every other season

and your charm will offer reason

When her eyes are too heavy

To accept the light

When her arms are too full,

 holding boulders of burdens

and pounds of pounding worry

When all that never was, is too bad

And bouts with doubts taunt

 like a sphere of nightmares recurring

When she forgets

All but the regrets…

Remind her who she is

In the beginning

 at the end

and all the time in-between

she is worth it

she is beautiful

The deepest part of everything
