She reached deep
inside her soul
for those
cherished caverns
and sacred vaults
youth permeates
as effortlessly
as laughing,
mirrors hold
no more worth
than a shadow,
and
with a swift
flicker of flame
behind her eyes
wrought
the world
asunder
with her smile,
carved
mountains
into the skyline
with her ardor,
bathed
the ocean
in moonlight
with her vitality.
(dtn)
ah to be young..
