--for Eleni
Of that precious
Small pocket of air
You carry with you
Like a talisman against all
The ills of the world
That descend upon us
Everywhere, tell me again
And again how it is
Everything it touches
Dispels untold depression
And despair!
A moving poem, and a beautiful, loving tribute to Eleni. It is a straightforward poem and its plain address makes it all the more touching.
ReplyDeleteThank you, John; I'm sure she will be thrilled when I tell her what you said!
