The Scent of Words in the Air

a life’s work encapsulated in poetry
wisdom wrought through forgiveness and acceptance
bitter-sweet moments endured and embraced
the journal is nearing completion 
it lies open in her gnarled hand
the old pencil stub, now blunt
gossamer petals of 
the wintersweet drift
onto the page 
its sweet scent
in the 
air
