Ruby

And here she comes

The light

Strutting her stuff 

Teeth and smiles

Voice solid and warm

Head tall

Shoulders back

Eyes wide and focused 

Living for the beauty of now

No worries or thoughts

For what was 

Or what is yet to come 

She dives into the unknown

Fearless

Alive and wonderful 

Turning heads and stealing eyes

A fascinating mystery 

A precious jewel with a flirtatious tongue 

Juices flowing through her creative mind

Refreshingly unpredictable and exciting

She glides across the floor

And into your space

Comfortable and calm

Confident and content

She needs for no one, nothing

Wants for nothing less than magic

Settles for nothing less

Eyes peeled in wonder

You step closer

She takes your hand 

Challenges your mind, your thoughts

Jokes, laughs, plays
You watch, wait
For what she does next

She Gazes into your eyes

Brightens your soul

Winks 

And twirls off into the moonlight.
