spring rain



may it be
your laughter
that greets me
wide-eyed as ruby-cherise petals
opening their faces to

spring rain
storming dry garden with dewdrops
scent of magnolia, chorus of robins, owls hooting
from the distance

every morning 
may it be
(you)
eternally in spring time

    This is wonderful plea... there has to be someone (you) when spring is as lovely as you describe with your compound nouns...

    Oh so sweet and heartfelt. This piece is so wonderful in so many ways; memory has risen, like Spring. When you identify your sister, it becomes even more poignant.

    It's consoling to believe that we all go back to beauty.

    Oh, this is so tender and loving for your sister. So hard, but to remember her in all the signs of Spring, is healing.

    A lovely, sensitive poem. (I admit, were it not for Kim, I couldn't find the key word, you'd hidden it so cleverly!)

    This is beautiful an deeply moving. I love how evoke the senses here as you meditate on the sense of loss.

    I know that feeling well. Some spring blooms remind me of my mother. *hugs*
