self-unaware: a poem

ignorant of the fruit she bears,
she walks the garden, a doe.
unmindful of her sprouting seed,
she traverses the farm, alone.

her eyes display, a naive glow,
her words impress, now ebb now flow,
no reason, rhyme, an empty shell,
but oh my lord, what a bombshell!

her feet are tender, unflowered buds,
her hairy brow, a study in youth.
her bouncy hair, a lovely fixture,
her unsteady pace, so immature.

she walks, ignorant of her steps,
unaware of the self, averse to thought.
she walks, blissful, enraptured lass,
"she lives the poem she cannot write".
