At long last, the ressurection of the poem I blogged about losing. You can judge for yourselves whether it measures up, though I am still mourning the original...
In the Mirror
staring at me
the strong, piercing eyes
of a princess
a beauty.
I am almost ashamed
to meet her gaze
but she has pride
gently lifts my chin
straightens my shoulders.
Suddenly I am able to see
the image of G-d
shining within her
compelling,
alive.
She stands firm
at the head
of a dynasty
leading
while following
in the mighty footsteps
of matriarchs.
She is blessed
with all she needs
to conquer worlds.
As I turn away
heading out
on noble missions
I will carry her image
and draw from her strength
for I am a princess;
Her power is mine.

Nice post, great blog glad I found it good luck with it.
Thanks, SWFM. By the way, it's knaidelmaidel here, just with a new ID
nice one.
yeah, it measures up.
you're really into this princess thing now, aren't you?
good night, your majesty!
From a knaidel to a princess...
thats quite a metamorphosis
:-)
Love the poem..full of beauty and dignity..
Dreamer, I realized as I blogged last night that it looks like I've gone all girly, but let me explain:
I like the name BasMelech better than Knaidel, after having tried on both for size.
I also happened to have started writing this poem a short time ago.
When thinking about changing my blog ID, I remembered the poem and realized it would be a great way to make the transition noticeable (so I don't lose my blog-friends).
So I finished the poem and changed my name on the same night.
Then I realized that the name lends itself to a matching avatar, which would make a nice change as the previous one was totally random.
As for the other blog title, it's just a temporary to get out of Torah Thoughts until I can settle on something I like.
SO, lest you were concerned that Knaidel had lost her noodles, do not fear. I have no plans of disappearing under anything lacy and pink in this life.
