Ariel

Henna-coloured,
with cinnamon tones.
No taller than a cork.
Hands clasped in prayer,
her head tilted towards heaven,
sleeves drooping.
An omniscient guardian,
guiding in spirit.
Ariel,
archangel of nature.
A brown statue of clay.
More lies within than out.
Eternally loyal,
forever wise.
Seeing what cannot
be seen through eyes.
