Centre stage
From tender age
She underwent momentous change
To demonstrate the splendid shape
To face the fate exacted
.
Decorated angel

Fearlessly
She strode the vale
Astride her steed
She owned the trail
Heeded not the lore imploring
She need be distressed and frail
While deathly pale
Her flesh unveiled
Each feeling preening
Sense prevailed
Fearlessly
She strode the vale
For leaps of faith
They never failed
.
Through leaden hail
She weathered gales
Attuned to blue moon’s tempered scales
Astride her Steinway
Baby grand
The lady played
The lady sang
.

Centre stage
From tender age
She underwent momentous change
To demonstrate the splendid shape
To face the fate exacted
.
Sat astride the shaded bank
Wide eyes agape to rays refracted
Having made it safely back
Each daisy in her chain reacted
Every vein stained black
Her sharp
Her flat
Her heart untamed remarked that hers were scars too brave to be made captive
.
Bleeding the old-fashioned way
In ashen grey
Her passion play
Refashioned from the glazed clay of a fable re-enacted
.
Trapped within
Impacted skin
No more
She soared
On fractured wing
Heeded not the lore imploring
All before
Be factored into blackening her slackening restraints
To taint the skies she painted
Actioning the traction
To enrapture sight in twilight faded
.
Masquerading every shade
Sweet serenade enabled
Fearlessly
She strode the vale
A decorated angel
.

.
The audience gave swift ovation
Marvelling her pitch and tone
Bewitched by symphony untold
Heel to toe in veneration
Standing in salute to She
Of boundless grace and dignity
Every patron last in elevation
.
My stringed heart on percussion
Matched the tempo of her stride
Then as she took a bow
I dressed precocious glow of pride
Childlike in my rapture
Of such motion form and stature
My wide eyes glazed
Amazed by every single frame She captured
.

All gathering returned to seats
Uproar fractured
Silence steeped
While in-between each crack She seeped
For what would prove her encore
Such rendition measureless
Of loving and togetherness
Becoming as the heavens
Which so many of us long for
