Deborah Henry's "Poem in Your Pocket"

Deborah Henry writes:

I would say my daughter Sara’s awesome poem, “Train Home From Work,” which was published in England but she would be mortified that her work was being promoted by me….

 “Birthday Present” by May Sarton

Like a shooting star,
As the soul,
Unencumbered,
Alive, ageless,
Meets the pristine moment:
Poetry again.”

I love the “alive, ageless” sense of truth and passion that we often forget.
