Josephine Van Gasse Basiliko

Read me and remember
Read me and remember
Free souls travel best alone,
Like eaves before the wind,
not tender,
But fiercely, stormly blown.

Read me and remember
A ship on a storm tossed sea,
Lives but a while in splendor,
The rest in eternity.

But I would not trade the splendor,
That is mine on the crest of the wave,
For the moments you call so tender
That would bind me and enslave.
Josephine Van Gasse Basiliko
Norway, MI, 1908 - Delray Beach, FL, 1996
