Passing

Morning starts with a chill
Fog outlines skirtfolds of the foothills

Sun comes out to dissipate fog
& Proceeds to warm the valley

Young woman chased, stabbed,
Left to die in the chilly dawn

Old woman passes
Peacefully in her sleep

“My work has not been in vain;
When the Lord calls me, I am ready to go!”

It’s a rich Saturday
When one is invited

To celebrate a good woman’s life
& Paint a community mural.
