The Lady Esperanza
Some say my feet never do touch the ground
So I asked the gods and this I found
I, a daughter of Libra am of the element air
Beautiful, soothing, light hearted tender and fair
Others say I always play the fool
For I easily fall in love with no clue
Whether it be lust or true
Then I looked up to the sky
And there right next to the southern star up high
I saw my destiny written in the stars
I saw faults, my hurts and all my scars
My heart is ruled by Venus, goddess of love
So do not question my unending waters of love
But wait, hear me
Though quick to love, I am wiser than most you see
Libra, scales, I keep the balance
And to do so it takes great wisdom and balance
My colour, blue
But wait, not just any blue
It's a rainbow of blues
I said, a rainbow of the sweetest yet saddest melody of blues
The azure of the sky
The blue of the Caspian oh my
The darkest blue of the night sky
The blue of beautiful violets growing in Gaea's garden
Some say I have a certain glow about me
Look they say, quick do you see?
She has the light of hope
One look at her and with any problem you can cope
When I hear these words, I smile
With my heart and eyes, I smile
So rightly named
The lady Esperanza I was named
My African title, Subila
It too means hope, a hope that heals, a healer
Finally, I shall tell you of my muse
Of the nine muses Calliope is my muse
Muse of the poetic art
She chose me and set me apart
And now here I stand
My strongest weapon, a pen in hand
