Mei Ling
Sleeping Beauty
A Masterpiece
Beautiful intricacies wove together and formed a friend:
one whom with which, I shared many of my firsts
one who taught me what, and more often,
what not to wear
(*that silver top goes back on the hanger into the wardrobe of shame*)
one who’s laughter makes her eyes twinkle
who’s feet beat a rhythm that fills the dancefloor,
who’s sparkle illuminates rooms until there is
no need
for
other
lights
You are a thief;
you stole our hearts long ago,
yet you keep them as safe as if they were fragile jewels
and you fight forever for their protection.
Come on little one, the night is young, there is still dancing to be done
But yours is amongst the stars and across our hearts
From a distance, our feet move
as your rhythm starts
Lights grow dim as we recall your spark,
in honour to the memory,
of one who was, and will forever be
our beautiful friend,
Miss Charlotte Lee
