Oh, such beauty
so refined
With loveliness
and grace combined
In style and
perfect symmetry
A reflection of
pure artistry.

Enchanting to
the naked eye
Yet does one see
what lay behind
The layers of
complexity
Beneath the written
canopy.

For words are but
an ancient form
Expressions of
a mirror borne
Upon the soul
reflections cast
Another chapter
unsurpassed.

Yet still the heart
and soul express
Everything, and
nothing less
In each and every
line composed
The art of poetry
and prose.

So in celebration
and in song
There is a power
far beyond
The eloquence
within each line -
For a woman by
her words defined.
