Notes About The Poem

Mom at age 16, 1950

Holy Grail of God's Light

Our sight is obstructed by a wall and a shadow. 
          ~Nikola Tesla

O2 at 2L keeps Mother's skin
color healthy,
but she's frail, 
more frail each day she lingers 
in this world of shadows~
She holds the holy grail
of God's light and follows a path
illumined by love and grace,
powered by God's wind and golden sail.
