Leaves of the lilacs - v2
Leaves of the lilacs, a
kernel,
mimicking roses, their shape
infant shoots of this Springtime
awakening in brilliance, in glory,
a brightness, a darkening soon,
our
hope, a yearning for Summer,
now bursting into life, our view.
Leaves of the lilacs, its branches
seeds of the autumn before winter
of another plant, hanging on their arms
a contrast of shades, seasons, of colors,
intertwined, mingling, captured,
cocoa,
khaki and chartreuse
juxtaposed,
sharing my view.
Leaves of the lilacs, wound tightly, ready,
for the warmth of the sun to burst open
to unfurl like a kite, a banner, a sheet,
a change of the seasons, a turning,
awakening, surging, shining,
cold giving way to Spring,
alive, exploding
into view.
