Indomitable

There’s a spirit I know

like a butterfly, she soars

with hidden strength behind her words

and beauty deep inside her core.

And none may doubt that she has fought

for everyone that she adores,

turning darkness into light

to find her pathway through life’s storms.

There’s a poet that I know

she’s walked through fire to reap her gains;

despite the hardships she‘s faced down

the passion in her heart remains

There’s a woman that I know
on parallel paths, we seek reprieve,

bleeding words upon the page

in endless quest to be set free.
