For My Friend Barbara

I am

The Rock

The River

The Tree

Spirit in All

You and me.


Birds are singing

A song of Love and Life

A little dog barks nearby


And beyond in the shade

A Violet

Showing its delicate face

Its leaves form a stunning cape

Fragrant, lovely and delicate.


The flower will fade away

Its leaves will dry

But fear not!

The Violet's strong roots will survive

Summer heat and Winter frost.


Next Spring

It will be there again

Fresh and new

And beautiful as ever.
