As Rachel died

 Rachel died and so within and without 

The cancer caught up an imposter

that imposed


She died lifting a mild smile

under the blankets and family support

what warmth


The heart contends with many dramas

Grief of loss scratches from within

like an imposter


Death thus becomes formal

people hide feelings

well executed masks of chipper


To contemplate her days in darkness

what she was what she left

I never knew her strength


yet the last image was of her smile

the long path many take unsatisfied

both the search and the discovery


some smiles seem suddenly authentic

outshining even when the climate was abrasive

even as the body betrayed itself


A strength many will come to envy
