SHE WILL OVERCOME

Michael Edwards

SO SHE WILL SURVIVE

 

 

Within her domain

where the dust lies on ledges

she nurtures regret.

 

Wandering slowly

she passes to the window

where light filters through.

 

She moves as a ghost

with her features in shadow

her outline in gold.

 

Her anger finds vent

Her delusions regretted

waiting for answers.

 

She had been faithless

disregarding wise counsel

yet wild seed matures.

 

And wild grasses grow

and she’s blessed by good graces

so she will survive.
