Memories Under the Magnolia


their names
their dates
carved into simple stones
resting now
under the magnolia

companionship
strolls easily
slowly
on a Sunday
under the magnolia

gentle voices
partner with a perfumed breeze
and waltz nostalgic
under the magnolia
...
paths cross
i see
i hear
the soil that is my heart softens -
my light
and
momentary troubles
are rooted out and laid to rest...

under the magnolia tree

  6. Did I just actually catch a whiff of the magnolia? Your imagery and descriptions brought me to your magnolia tree.

  9. I love this. I love the last few lines-my light and momentary troubles are rooted out and laid to rest. I feel the same way about cemeteries (or most walks, really) they offer such perspective.
