LIFE FORCE
Sun fuelled brilliance
leaf captured,
transforms into green life juice,

capilloried upward, magically
fuses into

he was gone.

Thirty years that
Took us through:
A husband or two,

He waits in despair
Hoping his one true
love would appear.
She's aloof and
refuses to talk
The blowouts and

with his warm kiss and I flowered

Ascent
escarp and canyon
push to limit
life's resolve.
Look up

others have done.
Only seek to forgive . . .
