Yellow Flower

Face against the wind

She caught her cotton dress

Narrow eyes to ward such mist

Her tousled hair a mess

A life she left behind her

One unforeseen ahead

And yet she moved in darkness

With naked feet she tread

Now below a graying sky

She felt so very alone

Unprepared and unaware

Of this, the great unknown

And as she moved in quiet

Through such a lonely place

A lonely tear slid down upon

Her lonely, solemn face

She cast her glance aside

To what lay by the stone

Hope began to fill her heart

For she was not alone

A single flower lay

Yellow pedals as a crown

She came upon it softly

And slowly she looked down

She saw from where she’d come

Then looked forward to the sea

Where countless adventures waited

And ready she would be
