And then, the flow began:  
The life that was their own,  
The life that was her own,  
That urged a broad wingspan;  
No longer words, alone;  
No longer friends outgrown  
  
She found true love without a man,  
Won lands afar without a throne,  
Traversed where none had ever flown –  
And all of this, without a plan,  
Without a soul yet to condone  
The very life she'd only known  
  
With only whispers of "I can...!"  
She lifts her eyes, will not bemoan  
The very life, love some'd disown;  
Though from malaise he'd said she ran,  
Through heartaches, breaks come on full-blown,  
She'd come to now, to but intone,  
  
To sing like ancient Solomon  
Her heart's truth, life, love depone  
In psalms, her soul's brilliant lodestone;  
To find in sweet, attentive span  
And unfailingly true touchstone  
Her life, her love ne'er to atone...  
  
And then, and so her flow began....
