Beauty Unbound

Motionless she sits, her thoughts a mystery you to me, as my gaze glides over her delicate features.  Her distant look leaves me to imagine the far away land to which she is visiting.  I am drawn into that world, my mind taken to lands of beauty and mystery of which she is among the most beautiful.  In this land, she is shed of the worries that often furrow her brow, here she dances in light, moving gracefully through that which surrounds her.  I dare not approach for fear of interrupting her carefree dance.  A hesitation in her step fills my heart with sadness, for I know that the burdens of the real world have begun to draw her away from this brief moment of freedom.  Perhaps one day I will approach.  Perhaps one day, I will be able to extend a hand that will merge that world of fantasy with this world.  On that day, it is I who will sit motionless,  forever transfixed by her beauty.
