A Treasured Collection

I look for you here, there, and everywhere; not because you are lost,
but because I want to touch and hold you, to know that you are safe

I look for you all the time, and if I cannot ascertain where you are,                            my heart will hop, leap, or skip, and I'll find you still in my thoughts.

I think of our many years together, and find you in my memories.
That day in the park; those walks around the fountain; ocean side fire

I often discover you close-up, on the outskirts of my mind.
But revelations of you in such domains are limited at best.

Not quite satisfied, I continue my search for the deeper you.
At last, beautiful portraits appear in a most treasured book.

"Oh, what a great find!", I said to myself.  "I shall create sets of you".
So I created the multi-facitted, many dimensional lady of my heart.

There were numerous poses of you, all so breathtakingly beautiful.               So beautiful, that it was very challenging to produce a complete set.

The words accompanying the poses were so distinctive and impeccable.
I could not choose them all; so I selected the number of completion.

Yes, I chose seven poses of you from those treasured pages.
The first was a standing pose of one filled with capability.

I beheld a stunning portrait of a very prudent investor.
I was struck by the sight of one so strikingly confident.

There was a sitting pose of an intelligent business woman.
There was the dignified lady glowing in energy and strength.

Like magnet, I was drawn toward the pose of a God fearing woman.         Lastly, I beheld one so indelibly deserving of appreciation and respect.
