A fragrance from sweet lilacs bloomed hang on a late spring breeze transcending through leafed twigs and sprigs of eucalyptus trees and honeysuckle, jasmine, rose all gather too in line as flora drifts in solitude at this my mother’s shrine. I lay in still, the other son, the stillborn still entwined as flora drifts in solitude at this my mother’s shrine. *Both my mother and my little brother died from complications during childbirth. |

Amazing piece of poetry, Bob. Gutsy. Heartbreaking. Lovely. ~*~ I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me. ~*~ |

Deeply poignant, dear Bob. The love is carried to you through the flowers' scents and you carry it with you in your heart garden. Margherita |
