Solitary Quest





********
There she goes, towards the intangible horizon
walking with steps measured  and sure
Creating ripples as she crosses the rivers of pain
Shielding eyes from ever-present censure
Stepping over shards of dreams slain

There she goes, towards the intangible horizon
On her solitary quest for the elusive shore
Her determination her only armor
Forged by fire,she emerged, stronger than before
And in the eye of the storm,
She stands smiling, her incongruous thoughts calmer.

For this poem, I have not followed any form (no surprise there!). I came across this prompt ad have tried to do justice to Magpie's picture.
Linking this poem to Magpie Tales: Mag 238. Image source: The same prompt.

    Your strong sense of rhythm is easily paying the poetic bills. This is a sweet read.
