The Woman in White
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Late on summer evenings
once traffic had ceased for night
she’d walk the gardens all alone
the woman dressed in white
The moonlight’s glow mirrored
on alba petals spread wide
many perfumed with fragrant grace
that she’d gather to bring inside
Before dawn’s dew had vanished
well hidden behind her hedge
she’d stroll again in her white night-coat
with a silk scarf covering her head
Yet ne’er during full daylight
was the woman in white to be seen
though the gardeners came to do the chores
all was still and serene
Her neighbors sometimes wondered
about the strange hours that she kept
But she dare not leave her ill lover’s side
except for when he slept
They say she loved her flowers
like children of her heart
But her dedication to her love
showed he’d won the greater part
His ashes he wanted scattered
over the lilies by the door
so his presence could watch over her
as he’d always done before
I’ve since heard outlandish rumors
that I thought could not be right
until I peeked into the garden
to see him with the woman in white.

I believe there will be a grand reunion in a garden lit up by a Presence more pure than light itself.

There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light.
