Marge Saiser, who lives in Nebraska, is a fine and a very lucky poet.
With the passing of each year her poems have gotten stronger and deeper. That's an enviable direction for a writer.
This poem was published in The Briar Cliff Review and it looks back wisely and wistfully over a rich life.
Saiser's most recent book is “The Woman in the Moon” from the Backwaters Press.
Weren't We Beautiful
growing into ourselves
earnest and funny we were
angels of some kind, smiling visitors
the light we lived in was gorgeous
we looked up and into the camera
the ordinary things we did with our hands
or how we turned and walked
or looked back we lifted the child
spooned food into his mouth
the camera held it, stayed it
there we are in our lives as if
we had all time
as if we would stand in that room
and wear that shirt those glasses
as if that light
without end
would shine on us
and from us.
