She was fragile
Millions of pieces
Stuck together
With strength
Courage
Fear
Smiles
And she glistened in the darkness
Reflected everything
You never wanted to be revealed
And shone right out
Of the darkest days
She was hope
Wrapped in flesh
And assurance of goodness
That flew like her blood
She was delicate
Every touch that did scar
But she was unbreakable
Tough beyond compare
And every word uttered were pathways
Every look maps
To the most intricate places
That she sometimes wandered to
Where she was raw and original
And she was reborn again
Somehow Spilled out on pages of life
She was an endless novel
Written in silence.
