Captured

Captured

She’s a beautiful spirit

desperate and reaching

Gliding over the landscapes she paints

Touching with darkness

the moon through her beauty

Her world suddenly bright

she cringes

draws back

The clouds come again

offering comfort

Her arms stretching wide

the world embraced

with her love and agony

The pain is ours

this pain we enjoy

this joy we endure

She’s a beautiful spirit

resting against my heart

dark with hope

captured
