Her Song
Her look was warm as summer dawn
there was a lightness as she stepped
as if the ground was almost a cloud
her beauty a casual dream sun-swept
the last time I saw her she sang
a song of stream and swelling hills
the sky alive to her lilting melody
backed by a covey of whippoorwills
her classroom moves were unworldly
star clusters in harmonic tones
wonders performed uncommonly
she’s on her way to full release
solid witnesses to her teachings
stand by with glances into clarity
her mind romps - it’s far-reaching
her classroom moves were unworldly
star clusters in harmonic tones
wonders performed uncommonly
all through this lonesome night
I’ve heard cries from the forest
her absence pervades in silence
a wind starts up out of the west
her classroom moves were unworldly
star clusters in harmonic tones
wonders performed uncommonly

I like this a lot. Really dreamy feeling in those opening verses. Put an image straight in my mind.
So is she a teacher? That's how I was interpreting "Her classroom moves..."

@RCJames lovely lady, lovely song. I really like that she's unworldly; I suppose the listener can take that their own way. I take it as she was a God fearing righteous lady. I could be wrong but that's what your song says to me. A real beauty. You say the 'last time I saw her'. Is she still with us? or has she passed away? I'm taking 'full release' as she's passed away. If so, may she be resting in peace.
Beautiful witness in song to a lovely lady,
Renee 💌
