She Remembers.

People say she's unlovable.


Why is she so cold.

Why is she so aloof.

Some call her a freak.

Some think she's weird.


Why does the wrestle keep coming back.

How many more dry bones are there

Why can't they be burnt forever.

She knows her hands
where they have been

She knows her feet
where they have brought her to

She knows her eyes
what image they capture
what thoughts they produce

She knows her heart
what she pines for
what secrets
what immense dreams

Put together
she's strong as a mountain

but how many times
the dry bones rattle within

bewildered shadows confer.


She is weak.

She is ugly.

She can be unloveable.


But she will always be
His.

And she'll never need to fear
loneliness.

She is sure,
and she will remember

she is wanted

by her

First Love.

and because of that

even if she has to limp
as long as life endures

she knows
it will not be forever

as soon as
she see
His
face

at the end of this race.

And suddenly
that road that seems
so long

becomes so
short

and then
the journey on earth
is over.
