When she came to the earth with a wail,
they were with her, shy and hesitant, barely evident.
As she grew from a child to a woman,
their camaraderie only became better.
They danced with her in her joy and
drowned her sorrows and misery.
They flashed in her anger and
flowed even when she deemed them unwanted.
They clouded her defeats and
gleamed in her triumph.
And, at last, when she lay cold as a marble, they rested
on her cheek like a lingering warm kiss of a loved one.
