Jorene
natural beauty,
a need to be free, the world...
she wanted to see!
for the love she brings,
we would give all things, to have...
for which the bird sings!
but who is this girl,
whose life we have watched unfurl...
like sand into pearl?
some say Czarina,
or Egyptian Queen, but some...
just call her JoRene!

writers statement: I wrote this after my sisters passing, from cancer. She was a great beauty, and it took her around the world several times. She lived a rich life, and became a great artist. When we were young she and I went to the carnival, where we had our fortunes told. I remember the old gypsy lady telling my sister that she was a Czarina or Egyptian Queen in a past life. I miss her greatly!
