Stephanie Finds Her Proper Place in Pain

February 25, 2020

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 https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A name poem for a woman who finds her happiness in giving:

Stephanie finds her proper place in pain.
To her, the greatest happiness is giving.
Each moment that her love flows like a wound
Places all Creation in her heart.
How can she crave the sun while in the rain
A silent neighbor is just barely living?
Nor can her thoughts with nature be attuned
In a world where children's brains are blown apart.
Even so, her words are sweet and sane.
