Blue Moon – he chose;
roses from my love,
but, in a day or so,
in their art deco vase,
framed by a window,
they withered –
sun-dried...

And yet, like a dove
I found, fell prey
to the Kite, I buried
by a beaming Buddha
in my back-yard...

and the leaf...
the last one to fall
from my Tulip Tree,
given, but for a moment
the gift of knowing
what it is to fly...to write
its poem on the clouds...

an epitaph for all
who ask no more
than to exist
for this, here, now...
the rose, the dove
and the leaf,
they will live on,
in yesterday’s sky.

Hi Tina... You never cease to amaze me with the way in which you manage to somehow take ordinary words and string them together to create beauty and magic, time after time after time. One of my favourites of yours as well.
