She walked upon the hills of grass <br />Unaware of her fragility <br />Brave or naïve; <br />she walks unarmed through the night <br />Searching and longing while disregarding all duty <br />Reckless as the mighty winds that fight against her <br />Driven by madness for the love of a man <br />Such a drunken fool for desire <br />While the people sleep, she dreams <br />Broken free from logic, she releases her responsibility to the raging sea <br />Devoured by the taste of a kiss <br />Her country will turn against her in war <br />A battle to be lost for a woman made a dreamer <br />Her power fades into the swirls of dawn <br />Though she fights with kindness; <br />She is killed for the lust of love <br />Misunderstood far too great to reconcile <br />The damage too much to bear <br />Within her shaken hands she has broken so many things <br />Her crown, people, <br />her land of chaos & beauty <br />All for the dreams to have her freedom to love<br /><br />Leah Ayliffe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-battle-for-dreams/
