Do not weep
Behind your veil
Do not weep

There’ll be time
For such travail
Once you sleep

Life is bleak
You once said
Now you know

We have bent
And we’ve bled
As we go

Do not weep
Behind your veil
Do not weep

There’ll be time
For such travail
Once you sleep

About Helen

I'm drawn to blogging as a way to share ideas and consider what makes us who we are. Whether it's in our working life or our creativity, expression is a means to connect.

    You are right. There is plenty of time once asleep.
