Xena's Ballad for Gabrielle
by Kristabella
she
is day
eyes like the ever-changing sunlit ocean
crowned by Apollošs fire
glowing goddess
changing like the ripples of light across
the sea
constant like the sun in the heavens
she is warmth and life
bringing light to my darkness
and guiding my steps through
the shadows of my past
guardian of my way
and of my heart.
