Impact by Jeffery Martin

Where did she get that twinkle in her eye

which melts stone within me and swirls about my head

until poetry streams from my pen

like moonbeams on a perfect night

Where does she hide the flowers

whose smell announces her arrival

bouncing softly from eyes laughing silently

while seeing rainbows continuously

as she sprinkles her gift

and creates new growth

wherever her hands and feet

find a gentle wind

Where does she go to replenish

that twinkle, that gift

when she finds herself weary but alas,

her source of magic redefines itself daily

and is rejuvenated by its discovery
