The one with the glow
that's what they call her
She has a terrific appetite for life
that's what they say of her
No one notices her enter
but they feel her move about the room
like it's a buffet of energy
and she must sample every dish
She'll chew on every thought expressed
devour the stories
consume the laughter
and
of course
wash it all down with the tears
And when she's gone
everyone feels both
malnourished from her presence
and ravenous for it
So they send her
the most gluttonous of guests
invitations to dine at their tables
even though they know
she will leave them starving
Even life will serve itself up to her
