A Poem by Yildiz Culcu

Forth she comes, forth she lunges!
Into new chapters, new life plunges.
Into the waters after the fiery win.
The Heroine of the Sea — her tale begins.
Burn can he, the one who lied,
As she leaves everything behind.
And the salty sea heals wounds within,
The Heroine of the Sea — with glowing skin.
Forth she comes, forth she sails!
Into the life that tips the scales.
Into forgetfulness after stormy bursts.
The Heroine of the Sea — watch her sail first.
Burn can she, the friend who betrayed,
As our heroine claims victories made.
In healing, she carves out history.
The Heroine of the Sea — in rising mystery.
Forth she comes, forth we all go!
As she turns her back on the snob below.
While he plays the fiddle, lost in gray,
The Heroine of the Sea — sails far away.
Burn the chapter, burn the page!
New stories rise, she leaves the cage.
They watch in envy, in woe, in age
The Heroine of the Sea — turns the stage.
Forth we row through oceans of shame,
Green eyes blaze beneath wooden flame.
Swords on her back, shouldering blame
The Heroine of the Sea — earned her name.
Born as poor, she dies as legend,
The tiny spark that broke the regiment.
She left him — burn can the zero
And showed the world true strength and honor.
Forth she comes, forth she lunges,
The Heroine of the Sea — her tale in plunges.
She goes away-The Heroine of the Sea
