she
was beauty
personified
she was grace
in human form
carriage like
a queen fluid
dancer motion
she was wisdom
walking
do unto others
love and be
loved
she was joy
and laughter
light and life
she was love
and
she was loved
for my
grandmother, taken from us on April 10, 2000
may her spirit live in those
lives she touched
(remembering, 2000)
