Description

Magnolia 

You can stand under her tree. 

Imagining time. 

Being there. 

For two weeks, 

from bud, 

to blossom, 

to blessing, 

to fall. 

And because you are there, 

don’t try too hard, 

just listen to where you are now,

(especially to the bird songs 

and the wind that hushes

in this afternoon 

of lightness 

and abandoned belonging), and then, 

for a brief chain 

of moments, 

feel yourself beneath the Magnolia, 

and for a while, given, 

but not taken away, 

a short while, 

so that you can wonder, 

through the petals, 

at the passing blue 

of skies…
