The Poetess Inside Her Years
by * Aberjhani

Rated "G" by the Author.

In birthday dedication to one of AD's, and the world's, most prolific and gifted poets.


 

 

The Poetess strong inside her years
of diamond and ruby lines unfolding
sits early morning beside a stream
flowing to the winged rhythm
of her pen dancing unchained
in musical years past and magical years to come.

 

The wind wraps her as a lover might
in a shimmering gown of silken inspirations…
patterned with echoes of golden laughter…
dappled shadows of love written at midnight…
tears splashing secrets of the ages…
and the scented haikus of a muse named passion.
  


The poetess beautiful inside her years
 
of diamond and ruby lines unfolding
sees for the first time
reflections of the tender joys and wise power
she gifted so brilliantly to others—
hears the light of grace blessing her name, singing––

Thank You, Happy Birthday, Peace be with You Always.

A fabulous capture of this beautiful lady and poet's mortality and immortality, AberJ; both of which stream from her inner being, her essence out of which she sparkles and speaks. She IS like a crystal stream whose life bubbles up from deep well-springs of life, erupting in magical, mystical and thirst-quenching fountains, flowing forever onwards to unimaginable open seas. You have well-imaged her poetic gifting and regal opulence here. She stands tall and gracious among women. This write will feed her spirit and soul to further resource her irrepressable rivers. Bless you, you're a birthday gift straight from the lap of the gods! :)) xx
