Notes About The Poem

Life Has Been Divine

 
an old lady walks all alone
    her legs are so tired 
          but her face so happy . . . 
for at last she has found this dreamy place
      of her long past memories
            oh, painted daisy
     she recalls gathering bouquets of them
             under a perfect blue sky 
          she listens to the cool stream babbling
    on the way to somewhere . . .
the weeping willow still hangs her head
                   over the water 
          and the blue jay is still singing
  from a overhanging tree 
      a welcome back song . . . 
so tired, she lays down on the grass 
      closing her ancient eyes, smiling 
           and whispering, life has been divine
