Her heels are cracked from the dry heat
Always walking, never covering her feet.
Does she travel all those miles alone
To find somewhere else, or to find home?
Her face is weary and worse for wear
Her skin has gone paler than fairest fair.
The cruelest of summers sealed her fate
The days filled only with hurry up and wait.
When she grows tired, she finds a place to rest
Never anywhere safe, though she tries her best.
The faces that pass by are many and varied
But never concerned enough for a stranger so scary.
She watches and listens, hoping for a smile
The only thing that keeps her going each mile.
To know you are only lost, not forgotten
Not left behind, just a bit downtrodden.
Each night as the sun falls, she weeps,
For she knows she has many miles to go
Before she sleeps.
Many miles before she sleeps.
SUNSHINE AURA - self-esteem. self-love. self-actualization.
