When the din of the day wanes
And the chores are all checked-off
When the sun recedes to the west
Embracing heaven and earth
As the day meets the night
In the sublime twilight glow
I rewind to another time
Bypassing present’s flow
I navigate the lanes
Of a rugged, distant land
Desolate and grey
Stripped of whiff of warmth
By an ancient rusty door
She stands, forlorn and blue
Wrinkles of angst and doubt
Conceal her core’s true clue
In whispers, she recounts
Tales of bitter words and blame
Of her long-standing combat
With battered confidence
The languorous hands of time
Test her endurance and strength
Teary-eyed, she staggers
To yet another day
