She danced with joy unbridled
Just as she had as a girl
(Just as she had as a girl)
Back when the world seemed so much smaller and more intimate
Yet infinite as though a timid rose as yet unfurled
.
Unfurled
Unfurled
Unfurl
Furl
Unfurled
.
Glancing each petal
Her mind opened widest and whirled with the wildest abandon
Barefoot she tiptoed through random imaginings
Far away from elders with their slandering and badgering
Far from the menagerie
Blackbird wings no longer clipped
Adorned with flawless majesty
A tapestry of honour kissed
The monarch lifted mist to drift betwixt its shifting vapours
Free to reminisce amidst this unremitting labour
.
She danced with a transmissive flavour
Glanced the skies reprised of diamonds mined from mind of timeless chamber—Famed in its design
She danced with a transmissive flavour
Glanced the skies reprised of diamonds mined from mind of timeless chamber—Famed in its design
Flamed in its desire to fire the spire of the cathedral
Lick the mighty tip of needle
Make it drip the slickest treacle
Veins ablaze with ways to praise the glaze of clay domains engaged
Flaking paint from latent pains to illustrate the greater gains
Readymade for raising cain
Yet unbetrayed of hate’s decay
She danced with the appraising gaze
Of angel eyes divine
.
Angel eyes divine
Famed in its design
Angel eyes divine
Famed in its design
Angel eyes divine
.
Faraway from space and time’s constraints and vacant chimes
Braving and invigorating tidal waves—To mount incline
Ride this slipping sliding snake
With fierce devout and fearsome pride
When She became
A nation famed her rise
Reawakened to the blaze within her eyes
.

She danced within a swelling tide
That parted in her wake
In aim to kiss the waves of telling height
And jar them wide awake
Breached with ease the seas she teased
To see them bleed their deep relief
Tamed the beast with heart ablaze
Claimed sweet release in artful ways
Immaculate of symmetry
Both light and shade her eyes conveyed
Parading twin pearl earrings flamed
The girl became a lady
.
She danced with joy unbridled
(She became)
Just as she had as a girl
(She became)
Back when the world seemed so much smaller and more intimate
Yet infinite as though a timid rose as yet unfurled

Yet unbetrayed of hate’s decay

“infinite as though a timid rose as yet unfurled”
Such a beautiful delicate line which I personally relate to at this moment in time.
“Braving and invigorating tidal waves—To mount incline
Ride this slipping, sliding snake
With fierce devout and fearsome pride”
That spoke to me about several of my NHS isms often discussed and how despite them, I’m fearless.
A stunning study of a girl blossoming into her divine self set to a gorgeous moment from a mutual film we discovered we both adore (Human Traffic, 1999): this is too much for my word abilities to express. It’s delighted me immensely 💎
