The fortune teller

the fortune teller
sees all, knows all
nothing escapes
her crystal ball
it's as though
she peers into your soul
and reads your inmost thoughts
there's no escaping
she's a wonderful person
a delight to meet
she laughs hard and long
yet cries just as much
her emotions run deep
yet she can hide them from view
she's a stubborn woman
and an easy-going spirit
she can't be crushed
yet easily damaged
no one quite knows
what she will do next
