A Flash of Her Spark



A FLASH OF HER SPARK

Can you see that twinkle in her eyes?
It looks like she can see the whole universe
She has so many frantic questions flying in reverse
Some are wholesome, others are as dangerous as a dagger
And before she knows it her next theory had her

Oh, the brilliant ideas behind those eyes
Her genius is something we only wish we could understand
She has more emotions than the world has grains of sand
She is always alive, shining even in my dream
But sometimes she’s so overwhelmed it makes her want to scream

Behind those eyes lie countless impulsive thoughts
The horizon of her mind goes on for miles
Swirling around are millions of words and lines
Twisting and turning, knotting and forming a glorious melody
Playing around her mind endlessly

Behind her eyes you will find a mess
To you it might seem like a mere hum or mumble
But in her mind Apollo’s orchestra is playing a piece that will make you crumble
She gets lost in a jungle of visions and dreams
And every string is mesmerizing all the way down to the seems

A mystery lies behind those eyes
We only hear the few words that she’d let slip out
And the rest? Well, the stars might be easier to count
Every single word is as creative and sympathetic
As they are playful and chaotic

Behind those eyes lies a power bigger than you and me
An incredible storm formed inside her brain
Holding immense power no can contain
Remember that mere twinkle you sooted in her eyes?
You caught a glimpse of of her spark that never dies

Behind those eyes lies a light
A gift so brilliant and complicated
You can only wish that one day you might understand it
She doesn’t have a problem or disorder
She has a precious gift that we just can’t ignore

And if you’re lucky you will catch a flash of her spark
