SHE SAID

She said,
'In one night I received the gift of a brand new world.
The gift was handed to me, wrapped in a mist of silken cloth.
Letters whispered across the white sound of silk, they said, 'This is yours to keep,
Guard it well'.

I ran from one place to another, to show what has fallen into my hand's.'
Said, 'Look at what I have been given, I can't believe my luck.
They stared at me as if I were mad. And as I looked into their cold, hard eyes,
I feared perhaps I was. But then, my gift gleamed and vibrated such wonderful mystery,
Such marvelous color, and I decided,  I simply would never doubt, the wonder of my gift,'
