the sea meets the shore

she feels a lonely distance
brought to bear
to wend the road to pass along
the lady gives her 
jacket
to some homeless motherless son
she walks the many miles
till the light of day is done
she has gone beyond
her woes
heroic her story
golden as the sun in fairest glory
excited by the night that brings
the morn
in contemplation
jovial
to know her mind
life may be as kind
as a bird in flight
at dawn.
