Absolution
Go look in the garden
she waits for you there
with a handwritten pardon
and dreams in her hair
or maybe the pantry
where she eats her cake
leaving white crumbs
from the poems I bake
or maybe the river
gazebo at night
with moonbeams on madness
it seems almost right
the meadow in March
seems to be her delight
she gathers the stardust
that falls in the flight
of butterfly wishes
adrift on the breeze
where winter has wandered
away through the trees
forgiving as Heaven
her eyes hold your heart
she hopes you will find her
and make a new start
