"Unveiled"

        
        
 Literary artist, wordsmith, looking glass for those who aspire
 To be just one of the many talents she fails to see
 Her pen betrays, we witness in awe and admire
          
 This lovely lady who is perpetually 'unveiling'
 Life's passions, challenges, opportunities, thrills
 Waiting not for the calm, rather through storms sailing
        
 Sharing introspection with excellence for every season
 No mistaking, she is wise, honest, eclectic, talented
 In the face of self-doubt, battling our every demon
          
 Whispering experience, boldly stating reality
 Reflecting, prose and verse, an example for each
 Confessing, striking us with words of exceptional quality
            
 Thusly, we are struck in lightning bolts of love, compelling
 Compassion drips from her every word, each letter
 Unveils strength of spirit, a tender soul telling ....
