She is an amalgam
of substances foreign to me
of kindness and tempered steel
a sharp edge on a surgeons knife
a finely ground optic on an astronomers lens
insight without condescension
freedom within a cage
existence without a source
she flows like a river from snow flakes
to the point of least resistance
subtle beauty and gentleness only limited
by the amount of personal contact she can have
of men, women, children she knows of love
giving to a point difficult to match
wanting to be fulfilled
mixing of substances foreign to me
but I am no alchemist
amalgam \uh-MAL-guhm\, noun:
1. An alloy of mercury with another metal or metals; used especially (with silver) as a dental filling.
