When the Chrysanthemums Bloom

By Tracie O'Neill      1-30-2007

 Look in the sky

What do you see?

A guardian angel?

Or rain clouds and sleet? 

I have an angel.

No guardian.

Angel doesn’t know.

Please don’t say. 

If it knows it might go away.

Just like it did the other day.

But today is not the same.

Maybe my angel will trust me today.

 Like it once did.

Once and no more.

Oh how I wish it would come back for sure.

I love my angel. 

I wish it would leave,

Nevermore.

I wish it would stay,

Forevermore.

Hello angel,

I’ve got something to say

But if it is said will you fly away?

Stay. 

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ 

To you all

Don’t say it.

Of course

It’s not my everything. 

Maybe we’ll tell it

One afternoon

When the world is safe

And the chrysanthemums bloom.
