Solitude's Triumph: A Lonely Woman's Song
Poem||Grace E. Almera
In solitude's embrace, she stood alone,
A lonely heart with dreams unknown.
Through tears that fell like silent rain,
She conquered fears, her inner pain.

In shadows deep, where silence weaves,
Kindness bloomed like autumn leaves.
A lonely soul, yet strong and true,
Found hope within, a radiant hue.

Through quiet nights and starlit skies,
Her spirit soared, no goodbyes.
Loneliness, a fleeting guest,
Replaced by dreams, her heart's bequest.

Resilience painted on her soul,
A masterpiece of self-made whole.
In the echo of her triumph sung,
A lonely woman, her dreams outrun.
