She cried
yet tried
Again to dream
Of morns agleam
‘neath liquid moonbeams
Confounded with stellar promenade
Consumed in cicada’s serenade
Crestfallen yet not dismayed
Reaffirming the promises made
Like ember concealing spark profound
Rose she from ashen ground(s)
Presaging dawn to eclipsed surround(s)
Keeping world warm and astound
A Virago she’s although uncrowned
