Zuri

Times that brought her, yellow nights of feasting, she dreams of summer, let others condone, that passing disease, leaving of a broken home, more than any daughter, she'll do what's needed, forging her own laughter, like a polished stone, she stands by the sea, understands hurricane zones, love seeps on the air, it reaches her knees, she breasts the water, for matters gone, she knows what to believes, welcomes the dawn, nourished by prayer, she cries when released, someone to care, it isn't that easy.
