NO JOY ELUDES HER

 


 "If my son hadn't died . . ."

There, she said it.

That's all she wants,

A do-over of life

With no death in sight. 

"If I'd never been hurt . . ."

She said it again.  

Nothing to hide.

Staying in bounds, no crack to be found.

A life lived un-stunned.   

Yet no joy eludes her.

Not peace nor flame.

Nor love fierce as steel.

No summit, no goal.

"Nothing can change but I."
