This is a hand-written poem on the front of a postcard.

“Immortality conceived in that moment.”

Postcard Front:

A young girl
reads words
that awaken her spirit
shake her soul
and rattle her mind.
Words that echo through 
the canyon of years
as bright and brittle
as the day they were
scribbled on some scrap.
Immortality conceived
in that moment.
Happy birthday
Emily!

Postcard Verso:

Thank you Emily –
for being a
constant luminous
presence in my life,
one of my north stars.

Always,

Sue
