Meditation in Spring by Julia Caroline Knowlton

Written By Saharsh Satheesh

dogwood blossoms, white & pink

 tiny dresses or ideas of prayer

 

 too pure to be pure

 too many poets call them stars

 

 yet stars they are

 innocence of nothingness     

 

 little illustrations    floating in air

 help me endure       help you endure
