Echoes of Jordan Park

As I waited at the bus stop

The green of the grass

Reminded me of the green

Of our picnic in the trees

The cool, quiet of Jordan Park

The warmth of your hand's

Ever-gentle touch

The bright colors of the flowers.

They echo in my mind still

As my hands lift the books

The bright covers of colors

Copied of flowers.

I smell again the cleanness,

The freshness of the air

Feel again the breathless

Mirth of our run from sprinklers.

Rainbows in the mist;

Did they color our hearts?

A small stack of books

Maroon covers hold mysteries

Words in a foreign tongue

Are we not as these?

Undiscovered rainbows lie within us

And conversation rainbow's threads

Reveal the colors in black on white.

The green of the trees

Whispers the hope in love's unravelings.
