Love Poem: A Key For the Maiden

A Key For the Maiden

she enters the room gracefully
belying the heartache inside
her tale of loss floats through the air
like a windblown kite

a mother, child, and death 
reduced to silhouettes

her vision rips a hole
where there should be love 
from this pulpit 
with its congregation of one
