Triumphant Journey

Triumphant Journey

The peace disappears

sunshine and sandy beaches erased

suppressing her heritage

even she is a prisoner.

Chaos disembarks

greed and contemptuous eyes lurking

announcing a painful past

Will she ever touch peace again?

New independence

memories and humble soul unscathed

realizing her future

is where she finds serenity.

Matronymic acclimate

espousing my soul mate.
