She draws her bow,
face steady;
focused.

Emotions washed away,
she is ready.
A code in her heart
and wisdom in her eyes.
She stands,
body blending in
with the environment.

She knows her faith;
its written in her family’s blood.
But she creates the route herself;
she picks her life.
Understanding her purpose
fighting for her cause;
she picks her love.
Defining the laws
seeing the heart of a beast;
She picks her death.
Her best friends life
over her own.

Now in the hands
of her heart,
she says goodbye leaving:
A silk strand,
an argent necklace
dangling on the edge,
and a silver labyrinth
that has just been solved.
