When She Sang
By Sara Metcalf Leach, High Desert Branch
Like a bird
landing on my window sill
her song is so nearby
it reaches that deep spot
that knows no peace.
She may be gone
but not her song.
To have her in my heart
has set me free.
She flew past my way
on her last day
and left me with love for You.
~~ Dedicated to Aretha Franklin (1942-2018)
