Her south china sea eyes
young girl
With her south china sea
Eyes
Where an ocean wind
Sighs
Stands as she tries.
In the silence
Between day and night
Between hope and dreaming,
Water is carved
Deep
In where a poet grows
In where a child to woman
Perceives.
A young girl dares
To paint
Her colors true
To dance
Her words free.
When only a poet believes
A young girl bleeds
Her south china sea eyes
Open
Standing
Where only a poet
Dares to see.
