Turning Winds

Dawn breaking

The coast line ebbing

Rippling water washes

Over her swollen feet

Tearing anguish rolls

From her brown eyes

Life's fate has just
Taught her a lesson

With hope no longer
In reach promises 
Meaningless her mind
Crashing wave-less

She closes her eyes
Then opens them to
A golden horizon
And simply let's go.
