perhaps

perhaps these lilacs have a religion
I
see clearly
their buds worship the sun

seeing them push each day
with such energy
just a bit further
to green
and
new
shapes
all
aimed
for
their
God
I

feel
their religion
too
I

float
above each
bud
and
also worship
this

life
these buds
here
in my backyard
