To Robert, Former Husband, On His 69th Birthday

Robert:
"We walk a journey--where, we do not know,
nor do we wish to know how hard the way --
The dark, the light, the nigh,
The dawn of day
Equally a mystery,
and so
We walk a journey --
where--
we do not know."

Judyth:
"But though with smiles or tears
we pass this way,
how few do rise against the flow,
defy the day, and dare the night,
with wings widespread, in breathless flight
above the void, though but to die --
I laugh, and scorn the bitter night--
I go where few have dared to go--
became
what you 
could never know."
