The girl from yesterday

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
