she sat as still as time, trying
to let the rain wash her tears
and the wind wash her memory

here on the rocks, watching
as the waves abused the shores
she welcomed the tempest

the darkness knew her well
and she longed to be reacquainted,
to finally be where she belonged

though her bones creeked with regret,
as though they could feel the right
of her intent, she grabbed her skirts and stood

without lectures and judgments
without disdain and questions
she would be lovingly welcomed

she would have her freedom
she would have her destiny
and the sea would give it to her

she didn't look back
