Lilacs

I am tired 
I sit my weary bones down 
on an old rocker 
and listen to grandad play guitar 
his music magic to my ears 
wanting to send me into a slumber,
 but yet I am fascinated 
by the winds cajole to the lilacs 
with a sigh my eyes become misty 
I fall asleep 
with lilacs etching 
they're swaying bodies in my mind 
as they dance to grandad's song
