So true, Don.
And of men, too.

Thanks, cricket. More to come.
Very nice, Don.
Very nice. I especially like this stanza.
"She wants to know will Heaven ever find her?
She wonders could it happen by mistake?
She has in mind a time that would be kinder
If Heaven ever gave an even break "
So sad and universal in its appeal to higher things.

The final stanza, and the final line, resonated most poignantly with me.
"No one will hear her
Open her front door
Her weary shadow on the floor"
Going from the "heavenly" questions to the sadness of quotidian life with no ultimate meaning.

Yes, beautiful. Don't we all have weary shadows when we are weighed down by the heavens?

Yup.
Paints such a vivid picture. That's the mark of great writing.
