lovely healthy young and blooming lilac tree
arrayed as only trees know how
in quiet elegance projecting holy place
and such
beautiful peace
given to me and planted in the early fall five and three quarter years ago
after my sister died
friends at work seeing how much I was shaken how much cut to my core
decided the answer was new green life
life!
maybe someone somehow knew that all trees have always been and will always be
holy for me
I love this young lilac loved it at first sight
putting it here at the corner of the house with someone I love was my own perfect
service
young life
stout and strong enough to require good planting
a good gift to honor a living friend
and help him on his way in faithful
remembrance
and reverence for the much loved much missed reality of the
dead
the only saving answer really
lovely lovely
life
