She shutters her heart against the cold
Her precious treasures are unsought,
and still she gathers more.
She strokes a solitary harp,
perfecting the notes,
firing the hearth, blessing many
with golden keys opening
many wondrous rooms.
If one day, a man should come
on quest to make her heart his home,
he'll find the fires warm.
And if no man is wise enough
to seek the treasures in her storehouse,
then romance has expired
and the current male population
consists entirely of fools;
she'll share her riches
with her sisters and children.
Beautiful and soul satisfying narrative... ....Bess

Superb message;-)!
"Her precious treasures are unsought,

Wonderful poetic depth.
