the horizon looked bleak
even from the start of this period
but she looked at the sky and breathed
and thought of the all places she would go
in this new world where nothing at all is sure
she knew and held to her few and only certainties
and so she went to the shelf and then dusted off a tome
and in her mind she went to places she could only dream of
these books she kept close as she endured life in the new world
for she was now beautifully lost and for once did not feel quite so alone
