Fragrance

How like me...
even at this late age
not fully open
releasing only a fraction
of the fragrance
I hold.
Don't mistake the fraction
for the whole.
Just wait with me;
the best is yet to be.

  1. The best is yet to come, I like that. Lilacs are a favorite flower of mine and I finally found a kind that will blossom here in California, so I planted one.
