The wind lifted her long hair
so she flew high as a kite.
The sun beamed brightly down on the road ahead
as she walked
light as a fairy
but determined as a bee in a meadow.
You could see her halo glimmer even in the darkest of rooms
and everyone she touched was left
enchanted by her spell.
She wasn't like the others.
Her shine wasn't visible to anyone
except the luckiest people on this planet.
You see,
that is her superpower.
So few people get to see how brightly her light shines,
but if you are one of the few
lucky enough to get to see it
you'll never be the same.
Her light was so bright that it blinded
the few who could see it;
until the only thing left that they could see
was her porcelain painted face against the bright blue
cloudless sky and the golden sun.
Once you see what so few in the world have
the privilege to see in her,
to really see her,
it is said she would become your entire world.
Blind to everything else around you
she is all you could bear witness to.
But don't you worry, for this has only ever happened
once before
to an ocean eyed young man.
Little did we know that he would be the first to break her spell
to walk away
to break her soul.
It was he who threw the rock that shattered her
like glass
into a million tiny little pieces.
How unfortunate it is that such a beautiful creature
could be crushed so effortlessly.
All of the love inside of her poured out
it came faster and faster
as if it would never stop.
It poured from every crevice of her being
where she had held it in for so long
waiting for someone to come along worth giving it to.
“Tell me love,” she said,
“Did you feel anything when you threw that rock that crushed me?"
