[Kiddalee]: 225.Poetry.Formatted.An Answered Riddle

An Answered Riddle

by Vicki Sue Nemeth

Am I a princess in enthralling silver,
Inciting gleaming chimes with every shiver?
Am I a lady clad in lightning white,
Peering, from sterile cracks, into the night?
Or do I, in a dress of many colours,
Run wild and free, safe under Heaven's cover?

I know I'm she from whom I don't retreat,
Within whom I can breathe and move and eat.
And when the lightness of the cloth I feel,
My eyes again can look at what is real.
I study, when my lover comes in view,
And say, "I see it now: I do love you!"
