.....memories of spring

A
vibrant
potted
Tulip
sweet
harbinger
of
spring.
My mother no longer lives in her home.
Sadly this week, she's been recalling
the Tulips, there.
"They'll be pushing
through the ground
any day now....
there are hundreds
of them, in all colors," she said.
"The ground needs to warm up just a bit more
and they will
burst into bloom.
I wish I could see them again."

Memories
like the corners of my mind,
misty water colored
memories
of the way
we were.......
-
Savor the moments
for
alas they are so brief.
