Essence (poem)

You are a symphony of forest aromas
Shining bright like a supernova
You are a breathtaking masterpiece
With a diamond mind that will never cease
Divine artistry carved your lips
I feel the soft intention in your fingertips
Your cracks are mended with gold
Whispering a story that longs to be told
Your raven hair shines in the moonlight
As your heart sings and takes flight

—Melina Powers

Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
