          A Year in Exile

              ~Silence~

                   ~Time~

          No words from her pen

          Only echoes
          of flowers dancing
          . . . rattling dry
          in a bare breeze, chilled

          Spring, they say,
          bears promises
          to fill emptied vases
               Freshly!
                    Sweetly!

          But my garden,
          not tended,
          waits . . .

          needing more
          than warm tears

              as this year ends, another begins
              . . . one of countless many to come, empty

passing shadows

I've spent some time in exile too

but you do know how beautiful dried bouquets are, don't you?
good to read you again
and offering you a bouquet of fresh flowers
that look great when dried

" . . . rattling dry

unique and descriptive, I loved that particular partial sentence...
