rememberance – Leaf And Twig

The Power Of Peonies

her beauty and scent so potent
this one blossom
comprises the whole world

the sweet comfort
of your companionship
felt now at the sighting of our flower

Nana’s spirit
wafting through the garden
on the scent of roses

we will remember
her sweetness
when she warms us
this winter

spring
the delicate
insistence of delight

the sky cries
remembering
with us

Jane’s
rose arbor
in the afternoon

garden’s goddess
overseeing beauty
from beyond

quiet request
said
in blue

Wrinkles in the tree’s bark
will forever honor the missing branch.
Smile lines of its former reach.
