She gazed
at the lens
not with rage
nor sorrow, not again.
This time
is hers.
Strong, sublime;
she conquers.
Controls the pain,
walks her own path.
Determined again;
Keeps life in her grasp.
I know her only through another’s lens;
I weep, and embrace visions of a friend.

[Thank you for the opportunity
to be witness to a fight
which so deeply moves me.]
