i looked to her, to her in my arms
and i was startled for a moment
to realize what i held
i look her over
her hair hangs a curtain
divine platinum strands
some of which she has cast to me
inviting my custody
i hold them now
they soothe my tired hands
it dances with my fingers, and i wonder
who am i even to graze
with such a wonderful thing?
she gazes to me now
with her eyes of infinity
they tell me not to worry
that i may rest for but a night
and for the night this gift was mine
and i remember it still
