Too High a Price
Too High A Price
"A pleasured life, too short a measure, a treasure that's too high a price..."
A photograph in blues unveils
a vacuous 2009 look of the devout
and one who intervened with her faith asked,
"Was I wrong?, she whispered, "You were my gift."
too high a price...
and to that, her smile draped in azure, gleamed for a few days more,
Pastor, composer, musician, singer--parts to a prefaced Word
spills to a floor, for a church that wants more
too high a price...
not to share with her extended family and her own,
a church clears all into their hearts and enriching lives
all shined in the intricacies of sapphire,
Her life well worth all of Earth's treasures,
yet to garner a touch, a smile,
rend mixed feelings of pain and joy,
of her mortal soul that turned a memorable blue
too high a price...
for me to bear, being on my own.
***In her final years, she forgot who I was, in her finals days, she remembers me, in her finals hours, she finds her peace, as I began my journey to find mines...
