The Protector

About someone who has a huge impact on who I am

The tips of her hair had been dipped in gold

and the silky waves brush her back effortlessly as she runs

her run so distinct, with a sense of pride and power

in her stretches and strides.

Her eyes glance into you and see it all

no need to explain, just a pair of glistening,

cup of coffee steaming, colored eyes

that have the power to make giants feel insignificant.

Her mouth is a cut straight line

her lips rest gently on one another

and when she smiles

it can split a diamond clean in half.

A voice that sounds like

waves on a lake slowly creeping

up the shoreline against the grainy sand,

or maybe a shoe walking softly on a gravel road.

A gentle touch on the hand.

a promise that means something more

a butterfly taking flight

the winning goal and the tears of joy that follow.

Drawn in, pulled by magnets maybe,

arms wrapped around one another,

and a warm heart that can heal

even the most fatal of wounds.
