Surely One

How can, when the sun is coming
O’er the mountain, anyone
Think of anything but glory
Since this world was first begun?

I know my prehistoric sister
Sat upon her stoop this way
Reveling in warmth and golden
Brightness of her ancient day

Everywhere there is a mountain
Everywhere a place to sit
Someone, rapt in meditation
From its beauty benefit

Some things truly are eternal
Out from Chronus’ with’ring touch
Sunshine streaming o’er a mountain
Surely must be one of such

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working seven days a week to contribute to her society, however.

Arts patrons may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S, or choose to send a personal check to the poet’s ABLE account. It takes about two weeks for the poet to be notified of your patronage.
