Such a vision

is a woman with panache,

a character smile

and deep set eyes

on a hot July night

in the middle of summer

where romantic stories

have always been told.

She did spin a yarn,

one stays with you

with every rising moon,

the strawberry moon.

I wanted to reach out

and tell her,

let her know the thoughts

in my mind

would always bring her

back as well as I could hope.

Something about a style

an elegant look,

a pose

not really meant to be found,

only is what she will be

in any moment,

upon any dream,

she’ll tell you the same thing

over and over again,

and you’ll smile,

because it’s her

and you could never imagine,

knowing someone so

completely alive

in her silent repose.
