AUTUMN GRACE
leaves of bleeding hearts
now gold
so do broken hearts mend
so does grief heal
Autumn grace

ancient lilacs
cover the graves
Memorial Day
memories
of memories
lilacs in bloom
knowing
they cannot stay
but will return
lilacs
“ancient lilacs” was published in SMILE (edited/published by Joyce M. Johnson); and Humoresque (for the United Amateur Press Association of America, edited/published by Jean Calkins).
Poems to share again – thank you.

Quiet Christmas Poetry is both a site and a large print chapbook.
Some examples of poems:
family dinner
memories span decades
in minutes
reading old letters
reflections of Christmas lights
on the water
Northern sun
shines on frozen beach
still the days grow shorter
shadow of poinsettia
on the wall
new year
on the horizon
simple lines
of barns and trees
in the fog
Please visit Quiet Christmas Poetry for more information.

A favorite acrostic. One of my great blessings is to watch the light throughout the seasons.
