The Inertia Of The Heart - Copyright (C) 11/16/08 by Dan Sharpe

She stood, like a rock,
against the force of entropy.
her body, giving way to dissolution,
her spirit, soaring in the face of the dark,
lit all the world with a subtle grace.

She was his universe,
wife, mother, friend, lover,
at the sunset of her years,
in the valley of her tears,
he reached out and took her hand.
