Seasons…
Years back…
Bucharest, Romania,
The University,
English 101, evenings;
“You know, my friend
Married a rich American man,
And now lives in a house with a swimming pool;
And when you think, she did not know how to cut an onion!”
Astonished, I looked at the gracefully aged
Woman sitting next to me in the class.
Now, years later
Sitting at my computer desk
In my comfortable American home,
(Less the swimming pool and the rich husband),
I’m thinking back at that incident,
Reflecting on myself:
“My inner self, my Spirit, has not aged,
Not one day;
I’m the same young, vibrant woman,
With the same foolish dreams”
