Candy Mints and Inducements
They took her to the Edge of Forever
and she looked into Love's Face.
They had her dine with The Verities;
she was feted with Wisdom Words
and Diamond Things,
which gathered Light unto them
outshining the Stars.
A carpet was laid down
for her to walk upon,
and yoga-style
she could fly
the Galaxies
if she wanted to;
listen to Moons' shine;
hear Saturn's Rings chime,
have a thousand summer nights
blow through her hair;
see twilight Moon Rises
in her eyes of blue.
She said no.
Many sweets and condiments
were offered her;
soft usherings,
lush inducements
candy mints
enticements and endearments;
she said 'No.'
she said
nothing compares to you.'
