Mystery of a Woman
I look into her eyes and see the
Vast expanse of the summer skies,
I’m just another fool wondering
Of the mystery behind those eyes,
I follow from a distance,
Afraid to take from the tree and eat
Of the fruit that will make me see,
It’s strange what the sight of a woman
Can do to the soul of a man;
She rises with the dawn of day and
Breathes deep the crisp morning air
As the morning light illuminates
Her soft and lovely hair,
Then she smiles and I see
The sun shining before my eyes;
She stretches and walks toward the sunrise,
She gives me a long, deep gaze
And I see a Blue Iris standing alone,
Shining above a field of beauty;
Her voice is the breeze blowing over
A sea of blue and I can hear her
Laughter as the waves come splashing
Upon the virgin shore on a
Fresh spring day,
A rainbow glows above my head;
I hear her name whispered as the
Sparrows take to the air behind me,
I see her tears on the dew sparkling
Upon the spider web as the sun
Shines over this newly lighted land;
She touches me and I feel the magic of
This world tingling down my spine;
In her face and upon her delicate,
Smooth skin (like the placid cloud
Sailing in the warm color of the sky),
I can see the mysteries of the
Universe laid before me;
I run my hand over the grass blowing in the
Midday wind and I am filled with her light,
Her truth, the meaning of my life;
The secret of love is carried on her scent,
Her beauty rises far above
The words I write about her;
I try to fill her needs and my name is fool,
I try to show her my soul and I am blindness,
Stumbling through the light;
I let her feel my heart so weak and my
Tears fall as I kneel in the dark,
I try to love her with all my strength,
But I’m just a man;
She is woman,
The mystery that man loves her for . . .
The fire of life glows in her eyes,
She holds the temptation of truth in her hands,
See the wonder of the world
In everything she touches;
She is the wind blowing through my hair,
The dreams spinning in my head,
The lightning playing upon my soul,
I swim in the sea of her love
And dance in her rain as she quenches
The thirst of man and watch in wonder
As life springs forth from her womb . . .
I kneel in worship as she bears this world
Of man on her ever strong shoulders;
Now I reach for this tree
And taste of the fruit and see . . .
I see the beginning of another mystery . . .
