Harvesting Seeds for Future Memories:
 
Bursting through black mud
a carpet of Zinnia’s
seek to meet the sun
soon to lift in varied songs 
burning away Winter’s dawn
 
Hot pink and maroon
outnumber orange and yellow
Last year pale pink ruled
This year the air is cooler 
And we have had much more rain
 
Posies and bouquets
in empyrean blue jars
will brighten corners
punctuate white side tables 
It is the same as before
