Ghost of Creation

It'd tried to take her
in those long ago days,
tried to end her life.
She'd kept breathing,
endured.

Was she alive?
She wondered sometimes,
heard tales of the dying
while she lived,
thrived alone,
created.

There was damage,
but she'd learned.
Yoga and meditation for sanity.
Walks when the dying weren't near.
Storytelling
to escape.
