TO BE AS ROMANTIC AS THE WIND

To be as romantic as the wind
is to smile
when the world your heart has known
is breaking,
- when the rain is falling
like melted snow
onto the slope of your heart,
cold and shiver-making
and plastering,
and to smile into it anyway
and to dream.

Her poem "Perhaps" is very good.
