Age resounds
in each bone
and muscle. Not
unusual that her famous
face falls a bit loosely now,
as do her eyelids.  But like

a tree, her roots are sturdy,
her carriage  upright.
She is preparing  to meet
the challenge of her swan song.
Hers is a true tale of rags-
to-riches.

Here she sits,in her glory, 
on a stool at the piano,
in elegant dress, half-swaying
to rhythms, as she sings
the melodies that made her
a star.
