Lorraine

June 8, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is portraits of women.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A name poem for Lorraine, a woman who accepts equally the good and bad in life:

Lorraine is sovereign of her willing heart.

Of her pain she weaves a tapestry of flowers,

Revealing alike her love and joy and grace.

Remembrances of hopes she long had grieved

Are now among the gifts she has received,

Inseparable from those she would embrace.

No way can she divide her sea of hours:

Each breath sustains a whole and not a part.
