Her watch on wrist to her it is ticking
Though she stopped it quite long ago
It wound down like it was slowing
But still, it won’t let her go
Her smile is also deceiving
And the warmth within her blue eyes
But the ache that’s behind her hamstrings
Sees the pain betray the lies
'One more check then we are landing'
They all detect in her, a relief
They start to shift and tidy round them
All on board, finally released
The stewardess walks down the aisles and
Advises kindly what to do
The face is smooth and unremitting
She's here to care for all of you
In her mind, she isn't thinking
She's not aware that her beauty glows
The pale smile, the softened voice is
A comfort and a homely tone
Home is where she heads bout every 3 weeks
She almost feels like a stranger in there
The fridge is almost always empty
And her visitors are somewhat rare
Once sodden within a full warm bath
She can finally let herself relax
A decision made in this strange conscious
A deliberate and practised act

I had the pleasure of working with the brilliant Renae. I've never been one for poetry but the sincerity I felt in these poems touched me in a new and real way. Her tenacity and openess to share about her life experiences left a mark on me and I hope to work with her again.
