Barbie-of-Yoga. Tumblr

Star-footed Barbie
with her purple eyes
sees into the hearts
of the lost
and looks back
with a sense
of wonder.

If all you saw
of her
was the ease
of her glance,
then you would miss
the sculptural quality
of her work;
the transformation
of her inner-child.

Her arms hold
the marks
of one
who has born the night
and still she cradles
the bitter taste
of being forgotten
and tossed,
when, in fact,
she has found it all
in the home
of her heart.
