Analysis of Carolyn
Her spirits there where ever lilacs bloom
Listen to her voice on the sweet perfume
She is the breeze kissing your cheeks plume
Plants I hope whose roots reach into your tomb
Memories fertilize what my hands place
In the soil watered through saddened eyes
You had your ways you always said with grace
As you made things new as mornings sunrise
Growing in the garden of souls that touch
All living things who respond and clutch
Onto the spirit of love a sweet crutch
That sustains, heals releasing when it’s such
The flowers chorus rises to heaven
On the wind your voice love and joy leaven
