In the fifth month
on the tenth day
upon the seventh year
I sat underneath
lilacs that reached
down and hugged me
from Heaven.
The inner child in
my fifty-two year old body
wanted to color outside
the triangle lines again;
rediscover peace of mind,
but the yellow anger and
blue depression only
created green tears
knowing mom would never
be able to dance again.
