A poem for a friend who inspired the phrase |
She's got a wild heart, hair curly and free She dances in the rain and sings in the dark She grabs me by the hand and says follow me She laughs and smiles, her eyes ignite a spark She holds a knot of wire tightly in her hands Trying to straighten out the reluctant wire Frustrated she throws down her project and stands The simple situation seems to turn dire The knots of wire lay there a beautiful mess She begins to straighten it with a new determination I can tell the project is one that gives her stress Her face beginning to show hints of gratification Relieved she sighs as she straightens the wires It took way too long for this task to be done With her jaw set she reaches for her pliers She's jamming out to music and having fun She reminds me of her knots of wire Tough, small, with a refusal to change her shape But after a while her resistance starts to tire Underneath she's held together by just strands of tape She is the most wonderful mess I have ever seen She is wild and free, can't be held down ever again She's the badass girl you'd see on the screen She is the best knots of wire I've ever met, amen |
