The Girl Who Danced With the Wind


The sun the only kiss on her face

The moon must have held her in its embrace

The sky surrounded her like beautiful lace and the wind inspired her amazing grace

Her skin was golden like wheat

and her lips glistened like a candied apple treat

She moved as if she was among the clouds

and her hair spun about her like a dark shroud

She danced the way flames do

Almost as if she knew

She performed as if she commanded a standing ovation

for she must have been the wind’s muse of inspiration

As she delighted in her own elation dancing as if she was meant to inspire all of creation

She continued on almost in flight not know she had captured his sight

With a sudden drop she fell to the ground

Her little body not making a sound

She tucked her feet up under her tight

Looking into the distance as if something caught her sight

Without warning she began to cry

And he wanted to know why

That this beauty so full of grace would have tears streaming down her delicate face

He watched her as the tears continued on wetting her face like the dew of the dawn

His strong arms he longed to loan

To this beauty whose pain he felt as if it were his own

This girl with a beauty so rare he knew in could only radiate from within ..


This brilliant girl who danced with the wind

Who was she, he had never seen beauty so bright

It could’ve changed the darkness with its light

This strange beauty with such pain deep inside that which she gave no attempt to hide


Who was this odd creature who he had memorized her every feature from her piercing eyes

that were soaked from her silent cries to those lips that looked as if they knew no lies


He had no knowledge of who she could be

Just an urgency to make his plea

He knew nothing of this girl with the radiant glow

And this smoothness that did effortlessly flow

From her body with an ease

That he knew she existed as she and did as she pleased

He knew to her his will he would bend

If only he could belong to the girl who danced with the wind
