The Cemetery

It is just before dawn On the first day of summer There is a hint of Lavender in the air The blades of grass emit a Chartreuse hue The yellow moon fades as a Coral sun emerges in the distance “Good morning my love” She opens a Tangerine and places the dark orange skin on the grass “Baby, I’m eating fruit.” “I am here having breakfast with you.” She speaks to him just like he were next to her “Do you like my Saffron-colored dress?” “I got it for summer.” “I know you hate my toenails, yes Crimson is a little dark for me Struggling to fight the tears she focuses on the colors around her Lemon Daffodils surround the trees, Lilac leaves adorn the shrubs and Watermelon roses line the walkways “I am placing some Aquamarine stones here my love.” “These light green stones stand for courage and protection” Her skin tingles and she feels he is there They are together...Peace 04/05/2021 Written for Changing Colors Poetry Contest Sponsored by Emilie Pinet
