She

[incantation]

A flower that has
Roots in both heaven
And earth. She is lit
Within by moonlight
From night swimming with
Mermaids. God would
Offer heaven for her beauty
To create new worlds out
Of it's symmetry.

Barry,  How beautiful is this?  I'm really surprised no one commented on this.  It is musical, the content flows with grace.  This is my favorite of all of your works so far.

A touching tribute to the beauty of a woman. I especially like the first simile.

Thanks for the bump, Assaf.  I have been meaning to return to this one.  There is such simple elegance in this ethereal lyric.  It is both classic (in the very, very best sense) and movingly vibrant.  There is a Pygmalion ecstasy about the poem that touches the deepest quaking felt when considering the elegant virtues of that Beauvoirian Other, the unutterable grace that possesses the Feminine in the body of Creation and of one individual Beloved.  Beguilingly accessible, this piece is one of your most quick and rapturous yet, Barry.

Thank you.
Thank you.
