Of course
It is autumn
My idea of heaven
Limited as I am

On a bench
In a park by the sea
I’m sitting quietly
Not at all sure
What I’m doing here
Yet there always have been
So many things I don’t
Didn’t and never will
Understand

Waves softly
Lap apon the shore
Their white crests of foam
Like beautiful lines of poetry
I never heard or read
There then or anywhere before

And of course it’s you
Oh Eternal Feminine
Who rises smiling
So gracefully
Out of the blue

To take me
By the heart

Oh yes, that she did, John, because your words are beautifully inspired.

Well, I have no favorites on this subject - other than Helen of course. I think it's wonderful that everyone is writing to/for/about her, and beautifully so . . . so I'm just going to add this to everyone's piece so you'll know I was here, read, and experienced again, the tears for her...
