APART, by                    
First Line: She does not take the well worn path
Last Line: Still linger in her face.


She does not take the well worn path
Where we are meant to go;
She does not think like common folk
Who hurry to and fro.

Her food is not the homely bread
That you and I find sweet;
She craves the zestful mountain fruit
She gathers for her meat.

While neighbors raise their eyebrows
To see her wander far,
They do not know that she has need
Of talking with a star.

If she is weary of her quest,
A light is in her eye;
For I have seen her on the hill
Slim against the sky,

The sunshine gone for us below,
And shadow in its place,
While unseen glories far away
Still linger in her face.
