Being positioned

Between vitality and

The grays of shadows;

This freely expressed life of

Extraordinary colors

Creates full rainbows

With words and desert echoes;

Revealing her path

As an art scholar,

Medieval literature;

One LIVING sculpture

Lamenting loves complexness;

A dragonfly ASCENDING,

Rediscovering

The innocence of dreaming,

Not fully knowing

Her life will evince

The fervent hopefulness’s

Of one seeking TRUTH

DRAGONFLY rises,

In humbleness of spirit,

(Voyaging beyond)

Life’s many unrequited

Gifts given from two scarred hands

Understanding now

Dying as a conversion;

Circling obstacles

Akin to daily regrets;

A cathartic chrysalis

Waiting to be bound

To ONE who emancipates

The LIFE she foresees;

Translucent of an echo;

Far deeper than a soul starves,

Chrystus beckons

As an artificial church decays
