They said she couldn’t

And so, she did!

She up and floated 

Taking colours

From the rainbow

 

Leaving a starlit trail

So bright

Even the moon

Questioned

Her iridescent

Glow

 

She filled her world

With butterflies

Leaving a rose petal

Path behind her

Her world was replete

With beauty

 

No man

Woman

Or child

Could catch her

 

She was there

Then gone ...

Up, up, up!

Did you see her?

 

Did you miss her?

A fireball

Burning bright

So bright

She left you

Blind

 

Did you even notice

The day

That dark, cloudy day

When she upped

And left you 

Behind?
