"From deep within my heart I always catch the scent of my Beloved. How can I help but follow that fragrance?" By Rumi https://spiritualgal.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/img_9903.png?w=293 AFTER LIFE Her scent! Her scent! The best of life! I watch her move - the smile, the curves. Sixty-one years she’d been my wife. The light projects - my mind observes. Perfume, present, in our sweet home. Doesn’t rise, though coaxed, from purple urn. T’her closet clings, like honeycomb, The pleasant scent of clothes well worn. If I could, but, follow the trail And find her form in great beyond, Upon her shoulder, lay, inhale, My darling, court, renew our bond. Her scent! Her scent! The best of life! Her pulse, unique, as is my grief. Sixty-one years she’d been my wife. And when you’ve loved as I…so brief. 7/13/2022 Rhyme Rumi Quote Sponsor: Sotto Poet Rhymezone and howmanysyllables.com 8 syllables per line 109 words

Thank you so much! I sent to my Dad and he liked it. I don’t send him much of what I write about his (and my) grief but I thought he would like this one. God bless you, Gershon!
