Peace and His Presence during this Lenten season and as we enter into the Holy Triduum of the Lord's Passion and Resurrection. God reward you for sharing your poetry with us, your Sisters. We were honoured to do so and share your inspiration and see the world through the eyes of your heart. Your imagery is rich and full of colour. Your sensitivity to the world and its people, its animal life and the beauty of nature come through strongly. May your message of poetry reach all . . . |

To make one’s mind an Eden: from whom, no heathen debt incurred. A bleak solitude aspired, her white neck, a yielded treasure. For every vision, every breath, a threatened liberty at best, the winsome hours once light and drear, the locality of constancy. Kindly auspice, not without bleak solitude and dear delight, The vision, darkened and the day, secluded.

The country, in a maze Of color and blythe, The stroke of watercolor Velvet night, Oh, swans upon thy wood.
