Fragrant Moment
Feel how you feel when things turn sad,
Rich rapture stays when times seem hard;
Apt touch can heal the taste of bad,
Glimpse cheer that plays with words dear bard;
Rise above grief when tears ooze wet,
Ask poise to greet that mellow style;
Note pain most brief to hedge your bet,
Taste what you meet with tender smile.
Make what you will of tragic loss,
Opt sagely tone with a sure voice;
Mind powers fill through grime and gloss,
Etch in your bones a curious poise;
Now spans the tact as truth marks clear,
Touch fashions act with faith that cheers.
