Poem

Original Submission by Nora E. Inso

Exiled Grace

Now the ninth

Lost her light.

Fell apart

With a broken heart.

Anguish and pain

Eyes fixed on a burning flame.

Love she once nourished

Now has perished.

They want her on bended knees

To cry, to beg for forgiveness.

The life she has chosen

They deem unforgiven.

Blood once related

Now the most hated.

She is a lion untamed

Trust no one

Rise again.

I may be banned from the clan,

But for Him,

I am the only one.
