Sprightly and very much alive br For someone seventy-five br Wearing her trade mark sunglasses br To hide any trace of wrinkles br Are these accessories br Armour to preserve br Her ever youthful image? br Every gesture br Is carefully choreographed br To leave behind an aura of mystery br No one knows her history br Some think she may have been br A fashion designer or a br Classical dancer of yesteryear br Which she neither confirms nor denies br All this conjecture perhaps br Stems from her own wild imaginings br She drops little hints while talking br Leaving people to conclude br That after an illustrious past br She has settled down br In the vicinity to a more br Peaceful and relaxed existence br Yet no one dares question her br Fearing her sarcasm br With haiku-like concision br While fielding difficult questions br From curious neighbours br So she will continue to be an enigma br Until someone uncovers br Her true story –if there is onebr br Sandra Martyresbr br
