The Jasmine smiles
her tiny ivory trumpets
curving upward like elephant tusks
miniature cream colored cornucopia
quaffing silver showers
from my garden hose
I blink though the fine spray
a rainbow apparition
ripples midair
“Look Ma...” I whisper gently
“a rainbow...”
my Mother standing beside me
in the garden...leaves her
Alzheimer’s world for a moment
remembering..........
God’s Beauty, Wonder and Splendor
Dedicated to my Mom who passed away with Alzheimer's 2/1/07
