To use one word to describe
one so beautiful and wise
seems an impossible task,
but why not try.

Gorgeous? Delicate? Ethereal?
No, they sound too focused on the physical.
Bright? Witty? Smart?
But then you lose the art.

No matter the effort.
No matter the might.
To reduce to one word
your celestial light
is too big a job for me
and my ability to fight.

So for now you'll go unlabeled.
Unable to be confined
to a box that would bind
your body and mind.
