some naked moments are

She had it right there in her heart the whole time.

What they said were

     lies.

They said

          it to make

   her eyes 

                   wet.

But over her years on 

               the good,

     gracious dirt

              she had learned

                              so much

 and she wouldn't give them that little part of her

"It's all about soul," she said, 

                                  "and how well you retain it.

             They can't take away everything."

         She took off her shirt and

                they saw.

   She exposed her chest and that small part of her was there

                                                   to be seen.

Above it all was her smile,

                        how it overshadowed their reactions.

           For in that moment,

   she couldn't hear them speak.

           And in that silence

   was the most perfect moment 

                                            of all.
