The sound of her own voice startled her.
In the room that was empty,
Alone for the first time.
For so long she had been intertwined,
Encompassed in another,
She found that she was a stranger
To her own self.
The echoes of her words
Resonated from within,
Like the soft chime of a bell.
Gently stirring her consciousness
To awareness
Of her thoughts
Her dreams
Her spirit
In the room that was empty,
Alone for the first time,
She began to speak again.
