All She Knows

All she knows
 Is what she's told
 Is fact and fantasy
 Life in harmony
 She stands alone
 Shadow on the wall
 Gently lit her silhouette
 Reflecting tall
 She spins to look
 On my command
 The shutter clicks she blinks
 And laughs offhand
 I slow the pace
 And pause to stop and think
 Here is a moment
 Where good fortune winks
 Eyes that sparkle
 And eyes that shine
 Hazel eyes smile
 As they peer into mine
 Canvas blank
 The slate is clean
 With nothing in between us
 Simple and untarnished
 She is all she seems
 All she knows
 Will turn to gold
 Colors spill in waves
 Off the path she paves
 She dreams a place
 Chapters in a book
 Stories long with heroes strong
 How blue the sky would look
 Then she stops to see
 Who's listening
 Seeds of consciousness
 Come creeping in
 All I know
 Here is a moment
 Where good fortune winks
 Eyes that sparkle
 And eyes that shine
 Hazel eyes smile
 As they peer into mine
 Canvas blank
 The slate is clean
 With nothing in between us
 Simple and untarnished
 She is all she seems
 Someday when she feels the comfort fade
 Holding on to this humble place
 All she knows
 In her hands she holds
 With little evidence
 Of fading innocence
 Eyes that sparkle
 And eyes that shine
 Hazel eyes smile
 As they peer into mine
 Canvas blank
 The slate is clean
 With nothing in between us
 Simple and untarnished
 She is all she seems
