Blanca

Blanca
By Iyawata

You came like
A one-woman tango
Embracing me
Taking me to the edge
Totally
True
To yourself.
No emtion unexpressed
Eating cake for lunch
Dancing until dawn
Offering no excuses
For your absences
Crystal clear
You chose
Passion--Life--Family
Your example
Gave me courage
To follow my dreams
Each time I doubt
I remember the gleam in your eyes
Your hearty Argentine laugh
Embracing life.
