about you

There is that about you defying all words,
A tang more than your skin,
that I will never catch, nor seek to cage.
There is the wild of a raptor in your gaze,
something that can never be tamed,
sacriledge to think of, or try.
You are wood smoke,
and wisps of dreams half remembered,
You are the first splash of rain
in the too dry July,
You are the flash of the shooting star
that dazzles my mortal eyes,
You are the still of the morning haze,
refusing to bow to the sun,
or give way to the bird song.
And about you
there are the thousand unasked miracles
that can never be owned.
There is about you,
something more always
than meets the eye,
and always there is something
about you.
