A New World
distance is a virtue
fear untouchable
a healthy mind, uncluttered
the freedom of a child
She is here, with patience
knowledge acquired
a dreamlike state
with a deepening fear of sleep
an arrival always imminent
yet feeling out of reach
belonging nowhere is hard to be
until she discovers a class of her own
peace lying within
holding hands with gratitude
calamity slowly siezes
a dawn is breaking
at last, clarity
vision beyond mountains
a sensual awakening
through unspoken power
a woman, she is I
a lingering encounter
i know she will not falter
the door is ready to be opened
and outwards she will step
into a new world
a fine, new world
