Remembering the Lilac

It was more the aroma that
enticed me beyond words
as the soft, lingering scent
of lilac hovered in the breeze
that swayed so gently that day.

The brilliance of the colors were dazzling,
but they were enhanced even more
when I remembered how the
air current would lift our hair
and wisp it around while we laughed.

God I remember the laughter
like it was just yesterday.
You were so happy then.
I remember you smiling while you
sorted through the array of flowers,
explaining what each one was.

However, it was the scent of lilac
that captivated our senses.
You bent over, touched it
and it was as if the lilac was talking
to you in a language that only
the two of you knew.

It was magical watching you
and I remember how beautiful
you looked that day.

I thought the whole memory was a dream,
but today I walked past lilac
and the sweet aroma reminded me of you;

I just smiled Mom.

Whoa! Someone who encourages critiques. Rare indeed. But I really liked your piece; the imagery was very good. *sigh* I want someone to bring me flowers now...

How lovely indeed.
You write with a feathered touch.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

What a beautiful memory moment your heart can tap into, evertime you smell lilacs.
