Lilacs


How versatile the lilac

In its symbolic nature 


Purple 

a tender whisper of new love 

or the memory of a first 


White 

a quiet emblem of peace 

serenity unfolding 

a gentle awakening of spirit 


The first to bloom 

heralding Spring 

a sign of beginnings reborn 


Hardy and fragrant 

the lilac endures 

a steadfast sentinel of beauty 

a quiet constant in the garden 


You are my lilac 

like a first love 

my peace 

my serenity 


You are my herald 

of good things 

of new beginnings 

my faithful favorite 


My lilac
