Tulips
PaulS

sit atop
 1
the kitchen table
 2
in simple elegance,
 3
 
 
while light from a window
 4
trips across vermillion petals
 5
and olive leaves,
 6
 
 
a gift from the heart
 7
to brighten a somber day
 8
they work with healing magic.
 9
 
 
When the weather clears
 10
and the dark soil warms
 11
she will find a place for them outside,
 12
 
 
in the world of growing things,
 13
to flourish in summer sun
 14
and sleep through winter winds—
 15
 
 
to come full circle in the tenderness of Spring,
 16
rising again,
 17
in all their splendor,
 18
 
 
a living testament of love
 19
from sister
 20
to sister.
