Time to Write a Poem

April 9, 2022 Lady in White

Lady in White

In solitude I Write
To share small Gems I see
In all the season's destinies -
My thoughts with Nature flee.

I hear the wagons Roll
Passed the tree-lined way -
Our Noble soldiers march to keep
The Union whole today.

In Him I place my faith
To Screen them from all harm -
The cause is Right, a worthy fight
I Stay them with my Psalm.

Someday you'll Read my Words
Long after I have Gone -
My silent Swords of pen and ink
Unsigned, E. Dickinson
