sitting alone on the sand
gazing upon the luminous stars
then leaning her head on her hands
feeling as though trapped behind bars
hearing someone approach
wanting them to disappear
but fearing bitter reproach
repressing a cascade of tears
spins as a hand touches her shoulder
no longer repressing her tears
breaking down in the arms of another
expressing all of her fears
she looks up to find the beach empty
wondering who had held her
glances up to the heavens to see
her strength, hope and future.
