Stranger in a Strange Land
by Marilyn R. Wilson

A single spark
Memories ignited
Harsh words uttered
Fragile ties broken.

Landscape shattered
Only shards remain
Vista strangely alien 
No hints of before

Bereft of signposts
Mired in chaos
Lost in confusion
Anxious and frozen

One single step
One single desperate step
Then another and another
Seeking the familiar

A stranger in a strange land.
