Old for New
She steps from shadows
into light
disenchanted
yet entranced
to see as if
through stranger's eyes
epiphany
of ignorances
world
as it has always been
people
as they ever were
herself
as she has never known
the lives
which she had yet to live:
to enter morning
born of night
abandoning
old dreams for new.
