She longed for the land that was never hers.
She craved the air that never whispered her name.
She missed the laughter
That would never again be heard.
Yet……
All she needed was
A whiff of familiar, homely fragrance,
A cheerful laugh,
A hint, a word,
Any mention at all
Of her realm.
And her eyes flooded with memories,
All that she was left with.
