Till Last Magnolia Blooms
Coffee bean scent still fills the air
with each new sunrise in our log cabin
My arms around me
embrace the winds of Winter gone
Every sky-night windowpanes glow
in silent mist
Lunar limbs stream through bedroom blinds
reflecting shadows on empty sheets<
Star clusters shine 'bove velvet shores
sand-wish away from our bare toes
Another year,another month,another thought
I can't freeze time or make a clone
First magnolia blooms on a bare branch
Buzzing bees extract nectar from moist corolla
Coloured wings flutter on melting icicles
Sunbirds return with a sweet song
But what is a song without a symphony
What is music with no slow dance
His hand-pressed petal still mark the chapter
between stained pages
The dusty shelves recall my mind
recall my heart,recall my soul
For the last time these eyes would linger
before leaves curl,before buds wither
before moons move on,and I let go.
