I went to your village,
Uncommon it seems
Shelters were built with
Visions and dreams
The walls, made of prose,
Sculpted with letters,
Crafted with care by
Women trailblazers
Voices raised flags
From various countries
To break the bondage
Of tragic poetries
'Tis a safe space
For brave storytellers
'Tis the haven
Of kind encouragers
I was a vagabond
Vying for vacancy
Finding a place to
Unburden my journey
You opened the gates
With welcoming trust
Held my hand, and said,
" Sister, come live with us!"
