She

Silenced for acts of rage,

An aloof cage

Surrounds her visage; 

She walks, timeless; not of age

Unbound from her inner demons

And lit with a thousand suns-

There she stands, poised on a cliff

(But what if

She falls?)

There she floats, the sea calls

Her its lone drifting mermaid;

There is the sky, that bade

Her a lofty greeting

In the hope of a dawning meeting-

She, shunned by the Gods, 

Leaves no footfalls

Unmarked.
