Frances Schiavina Poet Free verse

Immortal

Fluttering of green
dancing in spring
vanish to return
like sunset leaves
of Autumn

Water star lamps
on bird's house sill
flicker to die
and return 
with the rain

Dawn and sunset
color changing lights
brushed by sun
in sky
different every time

A smile lives on
after lips are gone
sparkling not the same
till replaced 
by the immortal
