debut in scarlet and silken cream heeled
when as a girl hair ringlets ribboned sealed
dreams of adventure worlds travelling far
dipping mighty oceans beyond the bar
paths rapidly shaped and forging converged
keeping further back what life had emerged
but each time she closed her eyes butterflies
tears that fashioned waterfalls crystal lined
swaying ears of golden corn within reach
journeyed fields, mountains, sandy pebbled beach
resolute firmly stood poised becoming
high waves rose to push her back sulleying
visibly rocked, shaken holds still a grip
on life she craves and thirsts to take a sip
