Disheveled as the fingers of morning  
this sage in her sedentary stoic seat 
needs no purge to enter gloaming 

Ripped at the seams by eventide
with hair of finest wheat 
she lingers fearless as the tide  

Dormant dreams at sundown's door 
chalk faced white as sheet 
she drowns, in the ocean bellied floor 

taken by the shackles of her wrists 
on leaden feet 
she walks towards the ether, in Gist

Profound meaning that leads to a profound destiny, really unfathomable. Best wishes and hugs

A sad ending. Drowning is not pleasant. HUgs.
