You travel to the sea, seeing the things that could be.
A glimpse up in the sky and you start to bat your eye.
She is a radiant sun,
A collection of rays that stream through your world that has just begun.
Her body is composed of the planets,
all swirling and dancing around the center of her as a form of habit.
You see them laugh and gleam as you see her face, the beauty of her as wondrous as the crystal sea beckoning you to go and be filled with its grace.
You want to reach out and tangle your fingers in her mischievous shooting star mane,
but stop when you realize your efforts will be in vain.
For she is a solar system woman,
And she cannot be contained.

I used one of my favorite Salvador Dali paintings as inspiration for this poem. The painting is of the head of a woman floating above the sea, surrounded by different colored swirling spheres that resemble planets. It was actually an English assigninment where we needed to describe a photo so well that you could imagine it without seeing the photo. Well I took a different spin on it and created this.
