she planted the lilac
with love and care,
watching it grow,
days and month.
one fine day
the blossoms came,
to her joy, thhe tree,
did not look the same.
then the flowers fell,
in cascading showers,
making heavy, the
fragile bower.
in profusion it filled
the purple bloom!
sadness vanished and
also gloom.
the flower bloomed
day after day,
she enjoyed the sight
to hearts content,
it did make her fragile heart
so light.
in her absence,
her presence i feel,
when i walk
into the garden bare,
my heart beats to see
the blooming lilac there.
Flowers are so significant of love and I think the metaphor of lilic is a beautiful one. As Molly tended the garden with so much love you can feel her in the garden. The last two lines 'my heart beats to see the blooming lilac there' are very touching. 10 love Karin
