Wild Flowers
She grows as free as wildflowers
And the wind that blows open
the screen door
takes her away
The burdens she buried
The freedom she forged
A spirit unbroken
Unruly, unspoken
Left black and blue
To the hills she knew
Her fortitude spreads the seas
Sorrow derailed
A car and gas
No lover
No past
Sings at Paradise Inn
Whispered lace
Pure priceless face
Longing for life to begin
