Lady of Change

She moves
in seasons
I have not seen
arrayed
in colors
not imagined
she is beyond 
thought
or reason
yet she stays
she stays with me

she moves outside
of light and dark
she lives
beyond grasp
of fear
and self doubt
she does whatever
she imagines
she can do
and I think of her
and wonder
what will happen
above or under
those exquisite eyes
that hold me
forever
in their spell
so wickedly clever

she moves outside
of time and reason
she lives 
in some
rare unknown season
she graces me
occasionally
with her presence
and for those moments
I am happy
to be
in other worldly places
with this lady
of change.
