"You see angels," she's been told,
"In places most would fear."
To which the best reply,
Was always to blush and shy away.
People ask her what she sees,
What draws her in like force equal to gravity,
To which the best reply,
Was always out of reach.
What she sees isn't something tangible,
It isn't a specific trait,
It's always a constant whisper,
A desire, a deep rooted strength.
It's an effervescent energy,
Hidden beneath darkness and pain.
An infinite glow, no matter how dim,
Of determination and faith.
It is soft, like clouds made of feathers,
But fierce like the roar of a thousand lions.
It is comfort and rigidly structured,
A pool of grace, untouched, without ripples.
"You see angels," she has been told,
"In places most would fear."
To which the best reply,
Is always, "I am blind in your world."
People ask her what she sees,
What pulls her in like force equal to gravity,
To which the best reply,
Is vague but always within reach.
