She has a rhythm to herself-- secret smile guards memory veranda creaking old porch swing as the ice in her tea melts a soggy sprig of mint within one knee is tucked the other keeps the rock of ages timed. Blue eyes match the sky in depth her vision just as far away watch her pull the silken thread another pillow for her bed every stitch another word taut and smooth to rest her head-- sleep will keep her dreams tonight.

I don't believe I've ever seen a finer etching of Helen as she appears to us...this is simplicity, and elegance...and beauty of one... to another. Well done, Serenity... |

back to the rotation of working nights again days seem to be just like the others (sigh) tonight as I drove home for lunch I was thinking when is it all going to be different where is the joy I pray for opened pip and found this I printed it so I could read it over and over during the rest of my shift can I say thank you and not make it sound so simple and stupid? you really don’t know what you have done for me today such heaviness now seems a little lighter just one question though when I go back into work and think of this in my pocket and my mascara is running how am I going to look tough to the inmates Karen thank you Thank you so much |

oh my. Helen? You can say, flat-out, "simple and stupid" and it wouldn't sound simple and stupid. You made me happy tonight, knowing I could help a little. And truly, this just wrote itself, as I read YOUR poetry.  Hugs lady. And everybody? Thank you all for helping me to thank HER. She's so quiet sometimes--I just thought she should be celebrated a bit. Thanks for helping me. Love to all. |
