Overlooking an orchid
If not sad enough
A reread of her poetry
You don't miss an orchid
until it is gone
We shared the love of the islands
The beauty of orchids
I looked in often at her poetry
Wanted to be on her list of flowing angels
But truth is
You do overlook the beauty
of an orchid until she's gone
I never left the islands
Without purchasing an orchid
They line my windows at home
And when the blossom fade and die
They are sent on to heaven
For the beauty of an orchid never really dies
Nor the memory in tear Kathy cries
