EASTER WEEK

FORGET-ME-NOTS I was carrying 10 pounds of groceries on each arm. I stopped to take a breathe. I looked down in to the flower bed and there almost hidden where forget-me-nots, small blue star-like flowers with a yellow center. My heart stopped for a moment. Flooding with memories, thought were long gone. I felt a great wave of sadness. Two wonderful, but also painful memories of two blue-irised ones. I later found that one of them is very ill...more sadness and un-ease. In church tonight i prayed. FREE-FORM TANKA FOR O The night you left i placed some forget-me-nots on the windshield of your bus knowing that we would never share special moments again In the store your music in the back ground i smile and remember years ago, the same music knowing you are happy FOR J Forget-me-nots i saw them suddenly on the path my thoughts turned to him with my heart filled with sadness Forget-me-nots my thoughts return to your eyes so many years ago then tears in mine wonderment and a deep sigh Forget-me-nots a tear starts to flow knight, poet and coffee lover your heart stop-go... i say a prayer
