Painting by Elena Adele Dmitrenko
Coming of Age
The breeze is blowing through her hair,
and like the sun she’s headed west
as apprehension fills the air.
All by herself she leaves her nest
of comfort where her dreams were curled
and sets out on an unknown quest.
A quest to find within this world
of varied visions widely spread,
a place to have new dreams unfurled.
Ambitions deep within were bred
throughout her tender years to find
the great adventures up ahead.
And so, she sets out heading blind
along life’s path of vast extremes
and leaves her comforts far behind.
Her time has come of age it seems
to follow all her lifelong dreams.
