I chased the bitch
halfway across eternity
and never could
make her see the light
no easy job, I'll tell you
lifetime after lifetime
her with her arrogance and pride
that unconquerable courage
that butt-head stubborn
insufferable
SPIRIT
she was playful though
in some incarnations
and that was always good for a giggle
at least if she got her way
and her way was usually best.
tossing her golden mane
proud as the moon
strong as starlight
I pursue her through the aeons
holding in my heart the answer
to the question she asks
and asks again
