The Peak

 
She tells of his frailty on his deathbed

all of her resentment remained as she tended his body with grace

“Jesus Christ in the desert with the devil trying to tempt him…”

no. You cannot fight The resentment

“everybody’s got their dance…”

allow the joy to flow from the lessons that come

“in the old martial societies you live to better yourself

and there, in the bed beside me lied my greatest opponent.”

upon his transition, She was standing at the peak of the greatest mountain to climb.

An exquisite beauty she carries

as she cares for her love today
