six years lost
looking for a way back to shore
she embarks to the unforgiving ocean
with wishes in hand like sailboats
on a family cottage lake.

six years lost in wreckage,

of wishes ungranted by the thousands
leads herself home.

"there's no place..." she says
as she takes off her jeweled red shoes
"...better than this"
