so tired to the bone
she left her childhood home
bound ribbon round her tired eyes
so she couldn’t read the lies
passing through the golden gates
and careful not to hesitate
she leaves the wonderland of lonely
walking softly and so slowly

© Gretchen L., Edina, MN

The author's comments:
This is a very old poem of mine, four years I would say, but it was one of the first things I wrote that was halfway decent, so for that, I am proud.
