wanting to cuddle and kiss
she did her best
but ---this one was just too late
she watched the hillside in terror
certainly she did not come this far
to get her lights put out forever
by some two legged fool and error
the island called her many years ago
sent her places
to learn and see
then when all of those things were done'
it called her back
she sat motionless
listening to the same things she heard
25 years ago like a circle
a cycle
those colors called her spirit like no other could
the sun rose
smiled
caressed her beautiful warm sweet body
the sea sang to her
the river swirled and chastised her tenderness
she had to let go
