Magic In Her Mind

silent studies
time spent alone
questions open ended
spanning out across eternity
inquisitive eyes deciphering
quizzical cryptology
tip toeing around
the event horizon
batting eye lashes
on the brink of a black hole
flirting with oblivion
fashionable balms
conceal minor mirror insecurities
she bargains with herself
bartering youth on behalf of a dream
ambitions surpassing the confines
of her single bedroom apartment
beauty beckons brilliance
inside a moment awakens
clarity trumpets inspiration
the battling ceases
at ease becoming one with herself
she breathes in peace
braving death daily
she refuses to recoil
at the face of fear
she does not hide from
the hideous realities
known only to her is
the whispered identity
the wind unwraps riddles in her ear
her belief in natured assured
she rides waves of blind faith
dolphins carry her ashore
magic in her mind
she mingles with mermaids
she waltzes and dines in
walt disney's gold-vaulted ballroom
