Elegy---Jane Actman, 1949-2018

Beauty like yours defined the Seventies;

beauty even beyond the nth degree's

imagination; such beauty can please

with inspiration that knows no surcease.

You have entered the starlit Heavenlies,

beyond the reach of worldly jealousies.

Your beauty will command new poetries

about you---some of which I hope to sing

before our Gracious Savior, Christ the King,

in His eternal Kingdom's joy and peace.

 

Starward

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just learned that the actress, Jane Actman, on whom I had quite a crush during the mid-Seventies, passed away in October of 2018, at the age of 69.

 

In line 5, the term "starlit heavenlies" is derived from LXX Sirach 43:9 and Ephesians 2:6.

 

It is my privilege to sponsor Jane's memorial page at Find A Grave.  Apparently her remains were cremated, but there is no tombstone or niche depicted there.
