wanted to share a poem

I wanted to repost this poem that was in the other thread.

Creaking to the Post Office
on my rusty bike
I saw one purple iris
Wild in the wet green
of the rice field
I wanted to send it to you
I can only tell you
it was there

Maureen O'Halloran

This poem has meant a lot to me in moments of loss, it helps me remember that although others may not have had a chance to behold a beautiful moment, person, thing it did still exist and life is better for my having seen it.

I hope others may find it as comforting.

peace,
mamawasophie
