She runs from the screams in her head- - - - - - - - - - - that is an extremely vivid line. I love it when an image comes across so real that I think I am seeing it in real time. Good piece.

Love and hate chases her across dusty, humid and dry continents, She runs from the screams in her head In this planet of destruction and heart bleeding moments, She could right the wrong, make an injustice feel the justice, ... heart-touching depiction. Beautifully penned. Thanks for sharing.

In the search for new lands, she has come a long way from home. Obviously she is torn between her love of her familiar environs and her thirst to embrace new experiences and a change of life.So is she torn between love and hate. Though sinking in depression, she is not ready to give in.The indomitable spirit in her will help her pull through all mires of life.There is something unusually intimate about your writings Hazel, that I see in your heroines, a reflection of yourself!

I travel with you from line one to last, the feeling inside though... Heavy, I love the last stanza very much... The beauty, mystery n a remedy contrast to the rest... An honest poetry! I say that.

This is a poem of adventure, with a realistic description; even the way it is written, emanates the free spirit of the central character, and the theme itself. I am reminded of a quote: '' Sometimes, we have to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves.'' and a film: '' Shirley Valentine ''. A great summer poem!
