A single girl smiles softly
Her cheeks are rosy with blush
Her plump lips are the color of cherry blossoms in the spring
Her warm brown eyes are like melted chocolate
Her hair is akin to a waterfall;
Each move she makes sends it swirling about
Like the waves upon the shore.

She sits upon a hill within a meadow
Gently humming as the breeze caresses her
Her gaze is turned to the sky above
The sun lights up her face
And illuminates her fair skin.

She is stretching out her arms
Towards the clouds far above
Her arms are riddled with scars
And the sun shines upon her with his love.

Thin gossamer tears trail down her frail face
As she finds she cannot touch the sky
So she plucks a dandelion from the meadow below
And grasps it between two delicate fingers.

She lets out a slow breath and watches
As the seeds take to the wind;
Carrying her wishes as they float
Through the crisp azure sky.

She smiles oh so sweetly
As she watches her wishes take flight
And in that silent moment
She wished to touch the sky.
