Arete by Keri Stewart

Her mighty skin is basked in wisdom, bones soaked in wondrous prestige. She’s like the essence of love: delicate like a fresh patch of snow and strong like an arctic fox whose pale fur is winter-kissed, a mess of snow and light. She swiftly glides through the night, tail swaying in the wind, her piercing eyes ready for the hunt. Oh, how to find a love so hidden? She glides through the day, her gait risen like reborn plants. She is a Dahlia flower in and out. Her petals curve upwards and out, open to the world all around. They reach for the sun; these friendly sun-kissed buds, bathed in wondrous warm colors, reach towards the sky because she knows she is worth more than the ground below her. NOTES: Keri Stewart is a teenage writer and self-published poet. She reached out to me and shared her poetry collection, featuring empowerment, strength, and self-love. Keri told me she wrote this poem Arete to talk about a woman full of so much power: bright energy that helps her thrive and keeps her pure.  Keri's website: https://keristewartauthor.wixsite.com/my-site  Connect with me Twitter：@camelliayang Instagram：@camelliayang Clubhouse: @camelliayang Website: https://www.camelliayang.com/
