in the early morning
a time I know well
colors of primroses
and forget me nots
ferns grow tall
today
plants grow
in the gardens
gifts from those
who were here before
and bless today

Lilacs: Four Poems

I wonder
what today’s poem may be
lilacs in the wind
memories of neighbors
and their gardens
lilacs
knowing
they cannot stay
but will return
lilacs
ancient lilacs
cover the graves
