“At the center of your being you have the answer-you know who you are and what you want”-Lao Tzu
Mariquita
by Carmen H Gray
Mariquita, was it only by chance
That your silently bright presence
Compelled me to glance
In a momentary way
As you traversed the mirror
Above the piano display
Your crimson shell of resilience
Facing toward me
The delicate vulnerable brilliance
Of your underside reflecting
How you have taught me
That not everything needs protecting
And that each moment captured
Is the sum of it all
Only fragments fractured
Gleaming in flight
Signifying the meaning
Of travelling light
One response to “Mariquita”
I really like this poem, it is so lovely.
