a sense of knowing – unswayed
by life’s indignities
she holds fast, mind still her own –
matter of independence

the blush of autumn
now long gone, a quiet grace
takes its turn in time –
through creaky bones, a knowing –
like spring vines set to run wild

steeped in life well lived

from her lips only pearls
steeped in a life well lived
hard fought wisdom
