Love Giving Wings
She is his world.
Everything she does, says, breathes,
Is beautiful, magnificent, and all those other words
he uses to such an extreme.
He loves her, apparently, leaves her
Questioning what it really means.
Because
She's just a girl with a face and blue eyes and a smile,
Sometimes,
a cackling laughter that she hates because it shows her.
She's quiet and little and she feels
Like no one can see her,
But that's ok.
Really, it is.
But he sees her and
Glows
like lightning crack and thunder rumble
In skies bruised purple,
But inside she crumbles like
buildings-collapsing-rubble,
because the glow of star he sees,
Is everything she thinks she wishes
she could be but doesn't believe.
He claims she's THAT girl, with the
Blond pony tail flipping and
itty bitty waste and
All the right things to say and not,
With the golden laugh and
clear blue eyes he can stare into forever.
"So beautiful today, darling," he says,
And her eyes dart to sides as if someone's sliced her insides open and poured her out on the floor, but the
Catch in her breath tells her she wants more than to
Just be beautiful to someone.
She wants more, not from people or things but
to fly with the birds with outstretched wings.
He values her faith, but her faith
Is her value, her worth, everything she is,
More than his eyes could see, her faith is more;
Her wings.
And the thing she loves, that
I love, is the faith isn't even hers, it's
A gift to her, her eyes opened,
By her first Love, her Creator.
And only her first Love can conquer those things
She doesn't love, can make her all these things that he sees and dreams and breathes of her.
Everything she is that he sees is merely the
Girl graced by the compassionate stare of
Her Beholder, who longs for more and more
Of He who makes her wings and flies with her.
