for you

 

indiana lilacs . may 2011

in this moment,

i send you sitting inside grief

and you feeling alone

and you believing it will shift

and you choosing joy

and you wishing for something else

and you grasping at the edge of hope

and you holding life

and you who thought it would be different

and you needing to exhale

and you praying for rain

and you seeking a life raft

and you hoping to forget

and you knowing it is time

and you wanting to dance in the beauty

in this moment,

i send you light and love

and a moment to remember that you

(yes you)

are enough

Thank you, Liz.

The smell of lilacs reminds me of growing up. We had three lilac bushes outside our house: dark purple, light purple, and white. They are no longer there - I think they stopped blooming - but the smell takes me back in an instant. One of my favorite scents.
