secrets

Admire me from afar,
from a safe distance where my hair glistens and laughter chimes.

Admire me while sitting on your throne,
when my steps look light and smile unabashed.
There on your pedestal, you'll stay.

Admire me without knowing me,
so that with every little secret you come to discover,
you'll think to yourself,
"maybe she's magic."

Admire me from where you are,
guarded and lofty,
bushed in with ideas bright and gold.

Admire me,
so that in turn,
I can admire you too.
