once upon a time, but not too long ago

Once upon a time, but not too long ago,
A girl, mind of wildfire, wandered where few dared go.
she learned how to find solace in being so very alone,
and carried, wide eyed, golden eyed wonder, a humor her own.
she had hands that built and broke, curious in flight,
A laugh sharp and teasing, masking a restless mind,
named after truth absolute, chasing it to see
the world unfold its secrets, wild and free.
