A BROADER STROKE

You cannot possess her
You never could
Somehow you thought you would find a way
To entrap the one you so admired

Nothing can truly ever be owned
Especially the lover you seek to control
She has no interest in titling herself
She looks to remain free

Yet a commitment can be made
Not to be taken lightly
Especially when dealing with a force of nature
For your love isn't the only thing in her life

A broader brush stroke she paints
Everyday worries and concerns have long passed
Now a much more urgent need
Building a bridge to the knowledge so many seek

Painting on the widest of canvass
Life in its smallest to largest form
Represented in the picture of her life
You remain embraced by her acceptance
Even for a moment touched if you have known her
Forever the encounter will stay with you

Eyes that penetrate the spirit
Compassion direct access to her heart
A grand scale of human emotion and care
Wrapped up in her arms
Safe from the storm outside or inside your soul
You have known a goddess
