~Peony 2~

 Peonies 

A hot cup of tea 

A warm hug

Like the sweetest 

Of ribbons

That’s for me

The key 

To happiness

Is a breath

Of fresh air

Alone


Rain clatters

On the backyard window 

Like soft glass 

There are

No highs 

Without lows

Isn’t that a gas?


Quiet willows

Brush the cold glass

Like hushed laughter 

Across honey fragile 

Marmalade skies


Twilight starts

A prelude 

To the moon’s comfort 

You miss the light

In hindsight 

My secrets

Come out

Like water

Like the finest wine


It was

An autumn moon

The truest blue

Makes me

Miss you
