She is Gold

By: Riya Kumar

She is gold

In her laughter

smile

Sunlight streaks dyed in her hair

Short and wispy,

brushing over her eyes,

Falling

shaking, flying

Tumbled messy from Laughter

Sweet summer child,

this girl

dances like a fawn learns to walk,

Leap

Run

Can’t contain her outbursts

they are fireworks

Can’t contain her smile

laughter

Can’t contain the sparks

light

in her eyes

Can’t contain her.

Can’t contain gold.
