The Essence of Lilacs

Written a lifetime ago when life was not as sweet as it is today....

 


I sit outside on my back porch


Smoking


Not like me... not like me


I exhale and a halo of blue smoke


Encircles me


I peer at a robin


Over tear-stained cheeks


Remembering the yesterdays


And the tomorrows that


Will never be


And in my reverie


I am suddenly calmed


By the essence of lilacs

I love lilacs more than any other flower including roses. The fragrance of lilacs in a house always bring soothing happy memories of summer as children.

I too have been calmed by the essence of lilacs when I was a little girl. We had an enormous lilac tree that sat in our front lawn, I still write poetry about it today. This is a wonderfully written poem!!

The Ravyn: Riding the Cyclone by Jennifer Sloan by Erin Kelly-Moen

This book has been eight years in the making. It is mostly a jumble of thoughts written down in old spiral notebooks and hidden in the bottom drawer underneath various manuals for software packages and hardware long since turned obsolete.
