She's clothed in light when she appears;
Freckles speck her argent skin.
Her dazzling smile is bright tonight,
A lamp to earth's unhurried spin.
I gaze at her ascending form
And smile at her flirtatious ways—
The times she hides behind a cloud
While bathing in her lover's rays.
For spans of time, she's danced the nights
As waking stars relight the skies.
She walks with couples strolling by
And shares the glow her beau supplies.
Around me ring the songs of life,
Cacophonies that please the mind.
Above, I see applauding stars;
They seem like fireflies entwined.
My grateful eyes return to her,
Now fully bright, like beaming brides.
It brings to mind the one I love,
The girl in whom my heart resides.
