Karen of Flight 758

          A passing stranger's grace and beauty, can inspire me to write;           and I script with all the feelings that her image might incite.           But if I'm blessed to 'talk' to her for e'en the shortest time...           she becomes not only subject - but is 'party' to the rhyme! Her hair, with natural curl and cast; frames her face in sharp contrast      with Merlot-tinge on crest of raven waves. Not tied or teased, but loosely lain; allowed to air-dry on the plane,      with wispy bangs that fall in disarray. Two cleanly sculptured, wedge-shaped-brows, lie smoothly 'cross her forward prow      and nod in honor - to the eyes below. Black lash and line from pit to stem, accent two 'ardent-hazel-gems',      that pulls my gaze to depths that I don't know. Complexion smooth, with ruddy hue, hints of her European roots,      as does her nose - forged straight and seared in pride. Her mouth's a tempting luscious size, with letter 'M' the upper prize,      and dimpled-smile-brackets on each side. Part hidden from untrammeled sight, a dainty ear on left and right      crowns jaw and chin - both staunch in self-assurance. A neck, seductive, thin and long, recedes to shoulders square and strong,      that further smack of courage and reliance. She walks with aim, at purposed pace, with every move a thing of grace      and seems to glide while others plod and step. Her shape in perfect symmetry - with no enhancement (that I see):      Erect with price - but naught...of arrogance. There's so much more that I could say, and never o'er the line to stray;      all in the realm of truth and decency. (Content - and yet she's unfilled!  There's 'yearning' shadowing her will!      What does she need to 'truly' happy be?") The observations that I make - are not for mine, but for her sake;      and if I'm wrong, I'll happily repair. Though years have paid me little else: perhaps 'insightfulness' my wealth...      which is absolutely worthless...unless shared!

Additional Notes:
One very special Flight Attendant, inspired this little ditty. Someday I would love to meet her again.......and thank her!
