She speaks the loudest

When people who walk past

Whisper into her pen

As if treasures are only meant to be seen

By those who crave literature.

Afternoons of adventure

Are accompanied by her favorite cup of tea,

And scattered poems

Are built when invited to sit with her.


The etchings carved onto paper

Are stories waiting to be told

In the eyes of a romanticist

Who awaits for love in the spring,

Through the voice of a stranger

Who seems familiar and yet so very distant,

From the opinions of a pessimist

Who secretly enjoys golden hour,

And with the mind of a woman

Who admires all that the world has to offer.


Days go by so quickly

When her mind is occupied with wonder.

Sometimes she tries to ask the moon to come back later.
