Walking away without a word
She watched him go aboard
A cry of plea almost escaped
As she stood, in her sorrows draped
Her composed self was eerie
To move away, she was weary
'Take me back' she silently mouthed
Her calmness now, she loathed
Here, she was in land of no return,
This was her loss to mourn
Peeling herself from the horizon,
She walked slowly toward the setting sun!
interesting that she never actually voiced her fear of loss......
