Yakari

Unsteady footsteps
once marked
a path
of a lonely heart
beating out of sync
with the world.

A tiny seed
deprived of nourishment.

Unable to grow,
smothering beneath dense
weeds, harsh winds
and crumbling soil.

Yet ...
with time
she found courage,
and with courage
she found truth,
and with truth
she found
herself.

A beautiful flower
with her face to the sun
and her back to the wind.

She now walks barefoot,
determined to conquer
anything
life throws her way.
