Terrain

A poem dedicated to Torris


She raises cities from the tips of her fingers
She builds living words with the thought of her mind
From the depths of her spirit
She forms the mountains base
With every ounce of her soul
She gives the unheard their mouths
Like a ray of soft sun amid clouded skies
She makes the beauty of the world resonate in my mind
Around my ears, through my teeth
Clumsily, I reach for the sound

My luck with friends was never ideal
But she appeared In my life like a hurricane of new ideas
Raining like tears from the earth I sought
I was stunned by the sharpness of her thought
Blinded by the ever changing colors and lights
Caught breathless by her ellipsis
My work shrinking before her eyes
Her words were soft spoken
Her voice reminiscent of a soft spring day

And I was so afraid
Sunlight shaped the features of her face
Despite the hell fire’s reign her pace did not change
With her soul she made art
Through her kindness she gave peace
A cool corner in which I could corral my calamitys
And speak them away for her and I to listen
I feared I would break

As the sun sets I see her
Standing by the mountains crown
She faces the east, upon righteous wings
Clothed with the humanity she borrowed from her home
She reshapes the clouds with the brush of her pen
Leaving inspiration in the wake of her battered past

By her will she fills the oceans with beauty and sight
Reshaping my eyes to see the brightness for its light
She is the North Star, endearing and bright

I am no longer afraid
