The Scent of Lilac
I want to hold it.
They say they can do that now.
Preserve it technically.
But it won't be the same.
I want to hold it.
Keep it for ever.
The way it gets hold of me
When I walk past.
All I know for sure:
As long as it grows
There will be its scent
Long after I'm gone.
And maybe that is
A way to hold it for ever.
To know that surely
It will survive me.
