She stood in the doorway
With her back to the sun
Knowing this was
The last
Time
She would see him.
And her heart filled with
Sorrow
Though her soul
Was at peace.

And her eyes filled with tears.

They fell to the floor
As she stood in the door
With her back to the sun.

She had nothing left

To prove.

Nothing left to hold.

Only the truth she would carry as
She turned and walked away.

Looking forward
For the first time
She could remember
To the light of a new day.

Never again would she turn her back to the sun.
