Her Light Still Shines

by Myra Wexler Darwish — Read all 62 poems by Myra Wexler Darwish

The passing of someone dear, my aunt of ninety plus years, is all at once a sadness and a celebration. Her Light Still Shines, a simple haiku poem, attempts to honor her unique qualities; she was and will always be very special to me, as she was to all that knew her.

Her Light Still Shines
(Haiku from the heart)

Her way was subtle,

Intelligent and profound

Ripples continue…

the sunken under the ripples eight words of your haiku still vibrate in the same continuation.... your full name totals 17 to be styled 'a fair lady of light verse.' Cheers

It's hard to describe a long life in such few words. Even a full poem would not begin to to cover what 90 years has seen.
