A Lady Beyond the Ages
A lady you are—
a light born of an autumn cloud,
a whisper from the dawn of spring,
as spring itself
flirts with you.
You walk with graceful allure,
and the roads adorn themselves
with wonder.
Hearts fall in love with you
before eyes ever do.
You are a breath of longing,
rising from the heart of a lover,
yearning and restless,
who has lost himself in loving you
and wandered in your absence.
You are the mother,
with tenderness overflowing
from hands of light;
the sister,
when the world grows gentle
to the melodies of your heart.
You are the daughter,
with a soul of beauty
and the delicate grace of a dove
that alights
upon the branch of life.
You are the beloved—
a necklace strung with pearls of joy,
a full moon in a sky
where night forgets its very name
the moment it sees you smile.
My lady,
may all your days be celebrations,
adorning our lives with beauty,
for you are, to us,
the most beautiful of all festivities.
So remain as you are—
a homeland of radiance,
a lamp that never fades.
For beauty begins with you,
and in you
every question finds its end.
