poems we read
again and again
washing an old plate
the pattern
still new

fragrance of leaves
in the gardens
what good friends
we became
as we grew older

early hours
of quiet and poetry
gardens overflow
and if some winter
my mind forgets
my heart will know

reading memoirs
and then the view
outside today
