Helen’s Sweet Essence   10//26/13 

 

As I roll Helen past the others,

The others in the Big Room,

She points and waves, 

Nods and smiles, 

And radiates sparks of loveliness … 

 

Loveliness from what’s left behind 

Of their lives and hers …

 

Helen holds not to resentment 

Having lived a life of passion and faith 

Reduced in time, by time, 

To her own sweet essence.
