Silhouette of a woman, cut from dark material,

Mounted on light ground, an outline so material.

She is beautiful, a reflective image cast,

Shadowed in sunlight, through clouds that have passed.

A luminous body, glowing without flaw,

Her silhouette emits beauty, without a single flaw.

While it reveals such profound beauty to the eye,

It disguises her internal anguish, her silent cry.

Her sadness, her loneliness, a deep-seated want,

To be wanted, to belong, to love and to grant.

The outline of her silhouette, a drawing so clear,

A boundary surrounds her, as lovely as she is dear.

As beautiful and lovely as her inward appearance,

Her silhouette stands, a symbol of grace and prayer.
