Sometimes wild-eyed,
a fey, free spirit -
a creature of hidden places
and nature's beauties.

Sometimes quiet,
the shy soul in the corner
with ink-stained fingers
and her nose in a book.

Sometimes Scorpio girl to the core,
mysterious and angry -
a creature of heat
and deadly sting.

Sometimes simply the lens
through which to share her art
making others' lives
as big as her own.

Author's Note: A slightly older one I found when rifling though a notebook. I had completely forgotten about it.
