PERIWINKLE

          PERIWINKLE


  Beauty is not in the blossom
          but in the bed
     so that when one falls
the others hold their heads high
      in periwinkle pride.

        Oh nature, nature,
      learn me your lesson
    that when others leave
        I will not grieve
          but be a lens
              for light
              to touch
             the living.

  1. This is one of my favorites and I read it to my sister, Mimi, who loved it too. It gives us such a healing message. Thank you, Jimmy Mac
