At midnight's call
in waking sleepless
hours of the day
she waits and
faints at thought
of impossibilities
possible perhaps
when looking back
through time
in space and
wandering in
the darkness
looking up
to see the stars
she weeps to know
the burdens she
must bear before
she reaches
safety and the shore.
