My beloved.
You surprised me so.
By not only surviving but thriving
Once the invasive shade was gone.
Is it because you remind me
of me?
Hmmm. Something to ponder in early summer
When the porch swing
is put to much good use.
At that time
You re-emerge
Stronger, more brilliant
than Before.
You bring to mind
the lipstick color
that the child me
Thought that all
Grown women
wear.
My Ruby Stella
My Vibrant
My Absolute Favorite
May you Multiply and Spread
Take over this yard
and Mesmerize the town
with flashes of Scarlet and Sun.
