Lilac Air – v5

A living presence, growing,

sweet, intoxicating, alluring

spreading out onto the playground

blossoms, the bursting bushes

changing the air, its texture,

soft, subtle, a presence, enveloping

lilac air at the side of the school

calling, enticing each passersby

To linger, to drink, to soak in

aerosol nectar, a drug ready

sweet, lively spring perfume

a perfect fragrance, enticing

rich with memory, with color

under a cloudy blue sky, comforting

warm this Wednesday afternoon

Living bouquet, immersion,

a balance of purple, of green

juxtaposed, set apart, soft colors,

against the solid wall, backdrop

warm red brick of the old school;

cool air of spring, an inviting presence,

wrapping around us, arms entwined

reaching for us, out of a sense of love
