Timidly I trod along her territory.
Washed entirely in admiration.
"You're so beautiful!" I yelled;
"So incredible."
"You encompass everything
and everything ultimately flows back to you."
She just looked at me and smiled.
I took it to be her arrogance.
Out of my admiration rose a swift fire,
Jealousy, rage.
"It's not fair! Why can't I ever be so beautiful...so breathtaking?"
She continued to smile.
My anger swelled with the tide
and I hurled the stones into her belly.
And I heard her laugh.
Frustrated and tired I stopped.
I stopped and glared at her.
Standing alone, the jealousy had not subsided.
She approached me cautiously,
her gentle waves kissed my feet.
The soft embrace pulled me in.
She had been smiling at my ignorance;
She had fashioned me in her own image.
I was just as beautiful as she.
I just hadn't realized it yet.
Living a sweet dream.
