She unfurls in dawn’s hint
like dry dream waiting for daylight
to yawn over horizon
she rises, like a swan’s waking
to crawl into mist that scrolls
back from seeping shores
a woman sheds her sorrow, once again,
to slip on faith of more rising
than she knew she had

"she rises, like a swan’s waking
to crawl into mist that scrolls
back from seeping shores

to slip on faith of more rising

You had to know these two stanzas would deeply touch my soul, my Sister. Elegantly penned, Sweetie. Congratulations on the bronze, my Friend.

Such beauty! Such inspiration! I adore this one! Of course, I was totally taken in by the beautiful internal rhyme. It added such cadence to the already lovely rhythm. "to slip on faith of more rising than she knew she had"--ah, there is such strength and encouragement in that phrase! I just love it. Good luck in the contest.
