Magnificent Woman |
| On my way to my Assembly programming class one day, I looked up to the hills above Papine and Kintyre - above the Hope river bed. They were so green and clean and fresh looking. The setting sun cast an airy-like, fresh, excited light on them with a creeping shadow; a wondrous warning of approaching dusk. Sitting in my car, at a standstill in traffic, I suddenly saw a magnificently confident and self-assured woman who is accomplished, beautiful and successful; with an air of spiritual calm... poignant over the bustle and haste of the evening traffic. This is an ode to that beautiful woman glimpsed fleetingly in hills over one of the most northern communities of Kingston, Jamaica. |

Dark and mysterious Fresh and young She waltzes past me And I look at her With magnimonious envy Tall and elegant That she towers Above me In her quiet confidence She inspires me As does freshly Washed hillsides in rain With sunlight Doth illuminate I must strive To become As tall and as elegant As confident If not as important As this woman Of obvious mental wealth And calmness of spirit She moves me To tears Of awe. |
