Not often
but every once in a shooting star
you meet someone
who
because they embrace
so completely
the things you are
inspires the best
you have it in you
to be
and you might trip up
in eagerness or fatigue
but it's okay
for she knows
a good path is laid
one stone at a time
I met a girl
who thinks her feet

are too small
yet I can't look away
when she's smiling
there's a curious spot
on her face
and she lives in my hiding place
but what is she hiding?
