REVERSE ENTROPY

Martyr to Newton's empirical process

Seizing the masculine gift of Prometheus

A woman of science changing the emphasis

Rewrites the script to her own metamorphosis

Emerge from cocoon during mid-life's Spring

Magnificent butterfly testing new wings

Float where you may on the winds of your muse

Life's but the transformation you choose

Silver shine filiments precious metal

Frame's a face part sphinx, part angel

Pleasing visage, compelling enigma

Haunting gray spectre, resonant anima

With occidental insight shy almond eyes

Penetrate conundrums complex disguise

Probing for mysteries, inner divine

Prospecting the river of soul

Science of the heart, playground of the mind

Synthesize the whole

Listens long with patient empathy

Gentle voice of saintlike fraility

Features fine as delicate lace

belie resiliant core

Archetypes, acausality

Exploring dreams unlock the door

When cold, hard, logic's not enough

Kindness heals, binds, and nurtures

Fluent in the language of love

Goodwill's trust disarms and cures

Building bonds, breaking boundaries

Soft blanket embrace comforts, assures

A touch that speaks ten thousand words

Such unfamiliar ecstasy's

Bask in the warmth of her luminous glow

How great is a beauty that never grows old.
