Who Is She Now?

Yellow shoes and orange curls

That girl

A walking rainbow

Glittering eyes of endless shades

Who’s she? You ask, I don’t know

Who is she? like a mound of clay

And yet, we cannot mold her

Perplexed, I stare at brooding eyes

And wonder how they smolder

Firey curls that bounce with every step

You try to match her strides

But she’s too quick

Light on her feet

And so, right by, she glides

Who is she?

Bright and boisterous

A smile with a tune

Reverberating off the walls

Her laughter fills the room

Electrifying energy

Emitting from her skin

Who is that girl?

Who owns the world

And shines from outside in

Her vibrance is contagious

Bright-eyed and ever curious

Who is that girl

Observing the world as if it’s not so serious

Head in the clouds

Arms open wide

As if to say, “Let’s dance”

Who is that girl

Her colorful world

Where all is left to chance

Who’s she? That girl?

I know her.

Her eyes the same as mine

She’s me, I’m her

We share a name

Two reflections

Finally, aligned

I smile at the mirror

Watch her blend for the first time

Oh my,

How that girl shines

Her iridescent speckled irises

Enveloped in a daze

Contemplative, strokes of paint

Her colors flood your gaze

She invites you to imagine

Search her wondrous eyes

See beyond the facade

Found deep within

Is where true beauty lies.
