About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

eulogies

what a torrent of words !

words are easy
words come effortlessly
words require no sacrifice
of comfort
words don't demand
lives of perfection
words allow claims of
kinship with icons

imagine a world
where every word
carried the price
of having to live the life
that we now so glibly admire
would the eulogies still be as eloquent ??
