Lady of distances,
She is...
Exiled in her own sorrow,
Her lands are protected from
Tomorrow...prudent as she is,
She has considered disappearing
Forever...wise as she is, she has
Thought about traveling to the
Stars where she would be distant
From the widowed morning...

Lady of distances
Has a slight accent that
Sets her apart, she will
Always be a stranger everywhere...
There she is shielded from her
Fears, her language is relevant,
She makes sense with her intense
Lines and eyes...
Anonymity is so sweet...can you
Understand my language?

Lady of distances
Is just a foreigner
With a surname difficult
To spell...
Let’s keep her inside a
Shell.
